The New York Yankees who are a member of the American League East come into the opening game of the three game series with a record of 78-62!
Why?
Because they’ve lost six straight games that included them getting swept by Toronto in Bronx New York!
In the finale the New York Yankees lost to the Toronto who like them are a member of the American League East by a score of 6-4!
Anthony Rizzo provided half the offense with a two-run blast in the sixth, but he failed to capitalize two innings later in a two-on, none-out situation with New York trailing by two. Rizzo hit into a fielder’s choice, and Giancarlo Stanton followed with an inning-ending double play.
New York did hit a pair of solo homers in the ninth, but that did little to change the narrative around this offense right now. Since the 13-game win streak ended, the Yankees are batting .212 and averaging 3.3 runs per game.
Most notably, they’re lacking their trademark Bronx Bomber pop: Toronto won the home run battle in a landslide this series, 11-4.

The night before that the New York Mets lost by a score of 1-2 in an extra inning game!
