New York Yankees avoid sweep by Toronto Blue Jays in series finale
The New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays split their three-game series at Rogers Centre. The Blue Jays took the first two games, including a 4-1 victory on Saturday led by Charles McAdoo’s two hits and an RBI double. That win moved Toronto closer to the American League wild-card spot, though the team dealt with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. being placed on the seven-day concussion IL.
On Sunday, the Yankees avoided a sweep with a 4-3 extra-innings win. Ben Rice hit a decisive two-run home run in the 10th inning to break a tie. Despite Dylan Cease striking out 10 batters for Toronto, the Blue Jays were unable to hold the lead after erasing a deficit in the ninth. The Yankees' victory keeps them in contention for the AL East and wild-card standings.
