Yanks Get Down Early; Stay Down

The Toronto Blue Jays (1-1) scored early and often in an 8-4 blowout over the Yankees today. Encarnacion started the scoring in the top of the 1st with a 3-run homer to left off starter C.C. Sabathia. This wouldn't be the only inning Sabathia struggled in the game.

The Yankees tried to claw their way back into the game in the bottom of the inning, scoring 2 runs on singles and stolen bases from Jacoby Ellsbury and Brett Gardner (who drove in Ellsbury) and a sacrifice fly to deep left fiels by Brian McCann that plated Brett Gardner all the way from 2nd base.

In the top of the fifth, with Reyes on first and 2 out, the Blue Jays rallied to score 4 runs on a walk by Encarnacion, followed by and RBI single by Donaldson and a 3-run home run by Valencia before Sabathia was removed from the game in favor of rookie RP Jim Miller.

The Yankees never recovered although a couple of late solo home runs by Chase Headley and Didi Gregorius were a promising offensive sign, the Yankees never get closer than a 4 run deficit. Both teams are now 1-1 going into the final game of the series. Michael Pineda is slated to pitch against Aaron Sanchez in the rubber game tomorrow.
