After shooting par in Baltimore by splitting a two-game set, the Yankees headed up to Toronto to see the Blue Jays for the first time this season, and apparently the Yanks' equipment trainer got busted for trying to bring their bats across the border.
The Yankees scored a pathetic total of two runs in their two games against the Blue Jays and now find themselves in 4th place in the AL East. The only saving grace for the Yankees is that the team under them is still the Boston Red Sox. In the first game Yankees starter Hiroki Kuroda was completely steamrolled as he surrendered 7 runs in 5 innings of work, including 3 homers. In a large hole, Yankee hitters had no shot against the hard-throwing Kyle Drabek who went 7 solid innings and only gave up 1 earned run. Clay Rapada gave up another run later on and Toronto took the first game 8-1.
The second and final game wasn't as pitiful, but it was in the neighborhood. This time around the Yankees got a decent start from Phi; Hughes, who went 5.1 innings and only gave up 2 runs from a homer by Jose Bautista. For the third night in a row, an opposing starting pitcher completely shut the Yankees down as Drew Hutchison went 6 innings and only gave up 1 run, an RBI double by Cano in the 1st innings which scored Granderson. Cory Wade increased the deficit by giving up another 2-run homer, this time to J.P. Arencibia, who also hit one the night before. The Yanks went away quietly in the 4-1 loss as the offense continues it's slumber this week.
At 20-18 the Yankees limp home to open up the first segment of interleague play this season and hope Andy Pettitte's second start can snap their 3-game losing streak....
