New York YankeesvsToronto Blue Jays
NYY 8/TOR 3
Things to say
Yankees beat the Blue Jays 8-3 at Rogers Centre on Sunday.
01
opener
Yanks rolled in Toronto, 8-3. Got out in front early and never really gave it back. Jays bullpen couldn't slow the bleeding.
02
key player
Heart of the order did the damage — Yankees put up eight and made it look like a getaway day for Toronto.
03
hot take
Blue Jays are 34-38 and it's mid-June. That's not a slump anymore, that's who they are.
04
deep cut
Schneider went to the pen too early again. Once you're burning arms in the fifth on a Sunday, the week's already cooked.
05
exit
Yanks at 43-27 and cruising — AL East is basically theirs to lose at this point. Anyway, catch the next one?
The recap
Yankees rolled into Rogers Centre and put up an 8-spot on Toronto, and it really wasn't that close. New York's bats got into Toronto's starter early and the bullpen couldn't stop the bleeding once the heart of the order came back around.
Blue Jays scratched out three but never threatened, and at 34-38 they're sliding while the Yankees keep humming at 43-27. Getaway day in Toronto and the Jays looked like a team ready for the flight home.
