Blue Jays Look to Tie Yankees for First Place in AL East Showdown

A month ago, the New York Yankees had a comfortable 5 1/2-game lead in the American League East. On Wednesday night, the Toronto Blue Jays have a chance to erase all of it. The surging Toronto Blue Jays will look to move into a tie for first place in the division as they continue their four-game series against the visiting and slumping New York Yankees.

Springer’s Special Canada Day

The Blue Jays won the second game of the series 12-5 on Tuesday thanks to a historic performance from their veteran leader, George Springer. He drove in a career-high seven runs, hitting a grand slam and a solo homer for his 100th and 101st home runs as a Blue Jay.

“What he did today was pretty amazing,” Blue Jays manager John Schneider said. “It was kind of a special feeling.”

The offensive explosion came even with star shortstop Bo Bichette out of the lineup with a knee injury, showcasing the team’s “next-man-up” mentality.

Yankees’ Struggles in the Clutch

While the Blue Jays are clicking, the Yankees are in a free-fall, having lost 12 of their last 18 games. Their biggest issue has been a complete inability to get a hit with runners in scoring position. In the first two games of this series, they are a combined 3-for-24 in those key situations.

“We’re not playing our best baseball by any means,” said reliever Luke Weaver. “We’ve just run into a buzz saw.”

A Duel of Right-Handers

Wednesday’s pitching matchup features a veteran facing a rookie. The Blue Jays will start Jose Berrios (4-3, 3.26 ERA), who has already tossed 5 1/3 shutout innings against the Yankees this season.

The Yankees will counter with rookie Will Warren (5-4, 4.37 ERA), who is making his first career start against Toronto. He had a solid month of June, posting a 2.86 ERA. This intriguing matchup will be a key focus on the scores and odds board.

Banged-Up but Battling
