Austin Wells smashed a two-run homer in the ninth inning to lift the New York Yankees over the Toronto Blue Jays 2-0 on Tuesday.
“We want to win. We respect the season,” said Boone in the visitors’ dugout before the game. “Obviously, the Blue Jays are right there in the playoffs but we want to put our best foot forward and be as competitive as possible and hopefully get out of here with three wins.”Kevin Kiermaier reached on a fielder’s choice then George Springer and Bo Bichette drew back-to-back walks to load the bases. That brought Vladimir Guerrero Jr., to the plate with the bases loaded and two out.
Guerrero worked King to a full count but then watched a 94.7 m.p.h. sinker go by low and away for a called third strike from home-plate umpire Malachi Moore.Gausman stayed effective when the Blue Jays were on defence, striking out Austin Wells and Giancarlo Stanton before inducing a lineout from Isiah Kiner-Falefa in the next inning.
Toronto shortstop Bo Bichette’s sharp fielding prevented the Yankees from scoring the game’s first run in the seventh. He fired Oswaldo Cabrera’s ground ball to catcher Alejandro Kirk in time for Giancarlo Stanton to be tagged for the inning’s second out.
