New York Yankees vs Toronto Blue Jays
Post Game Recap
Final Score: Yankees 0 Blue Jays 2
The New York Yankees lost their fourth
straight game on Tuesday night, this time at the hands of the last
place Toronto Blue Jays. The loss moves the Yankees to (79-72) on the
season, which is 3.5 games behind the two Wild Card spots.
Andy Pettitte came through with a yet
another good start for the Yankees, but with zero run support, he
picked up his 10th loss of the season. Pettitte would make
only one mistake in this game, that coming in the fourth inning, as
Colby Rasmus hit a solo-home run, which broke the scoreless game up,
and was his 21st home run of the season. Pettitte would
finish going 6.2 innings allowing just the one run on six hits and
two walks.
After Pettitte was pulled from the
game, Joe Girardi went to Shawn Kelley in the seventh inning, and
Kelley promptly gave up a solo-home run to the first batter he faced
in Rajai Davis. The home run from Davis made it a 2-0 game, and was
his sixth home run of the season.
Blue Jays Starter R.A. Dickey looked
like the NL Cy Young award winner from 2012, as he earned his 13th
win of the season. Dickey would go seven shutout innings allowing
just four hits, and two walks, while striking out eight batters. The
Yankees best chance to put some runs on the board came in the first
inning, as they loaded up the bases, but Dickey would get one of his
eight strikeouts coming against Mark Reynolds out to end the threat.
The bullpen for the Blue Jays would
finish up the job to get Dickey the win, as Sergio Santos earned the
hold by pitching a scoreless eighth inning, and then Casey Janssen
would earn his 31st save of the season, while picking up
three strikeouts in the ninth.
Next up for the Yankees will be Game 2
against the Blue Jays, as Phil Hughes (4-13, 5.07) will be facing off
against J.A. Happ (4-6, 5.15).
