Aaron Judge hit a pair of two-run homers as the New York Yankees rolled past the Blue Jays 6-0 on Wednesday, forcing Toronto to wait at least another day to clinch a playoff spot.
Gerrit Cole put the finishing touches on his Cy Young Award resume with a commanding two-hit complete game shutout. He didn't give up a run or a walk in his last start of the season.Relievers Trevor Richards, Genesis Cabrera, and Jay Jackson followed Berrios to the mound as Toronto missed another opportunity to close in on a playoff berth.
Cole is the odds-on favourite to win the Cy Young as the American League's best pitcher, according to most major online sportsbooks. Although Cole is a Cy Young candidate, Berrios was also dealing in the early innings Wednesday. He earned three strikeouts on 12 pitches in the second, including ringing up Anthony Volpe on just three pitches.Judge immediately capitalized, crushing the first pitch he saw in the next at bat. J
Judge continued to menace Toronto in seventh, launching his second two-run homer of the night to the second deck at Rogers Centre.
