The Yankees (30-20) and the Blue Jays (22-27) conclude their four-game series tonight at Yankee Stadium with the Jays aiming for a split following last night’s 2-1 win.
It was the pitchers’ duel everyone expected it would be as Trey Yesavage and Cam Schlittler put their repertoire on display showcasing why each is one of the best in baseball. Yesavage was near perfect through six allowing just two hits while striking out eight. Schlittler was less dominant but did not allow a run until he walked Andres Gimenez with the bases loaded in the seventh. Vlad Guerrero Jr. added a sacrifice fly two batters later and Schlittler’s night was done. Paul Goldschmidt drove in the Yankees’ lone run on a groundout in the ninth.
On a night when the Yankees had but six hits as a team, Jazz Chisholm Jr. picked up half of them. The mercurial second baseman is hitting .500 (13-26) over his last seven games. He has driven in four runs and scored five during his streak.
Braydon Fisher takes the mound for Toronto today. Carlos Rodon gets the ball for the Yankees. This will be Rodon’s third start since returning from the disabled list. He has yet to reach the sixth inning allowing five earned runs over eight innings in his two outings. Primarily a reliever to this point in the season, Fisher will be making his second start of the season tonight. No doubt manager John Schneider is hoping for two or three innings max out of the 25-year-old righthander.
