The Toronto Blue Jays secured their second consecutive win and fourth in the last five games by defeating the New York Yankees on Tuesday night. With this victory, the Blue Jays improved their overall record to 47-38 and were tied for second place in the AL East, just one game behind the Yankees. George Springer and Andres Gimenez were standout performers for Toronto, with Springer contributing two runs and seven RBI, while Gimenez added three runs and three RBI. Kevin Gausman pitched five innings for the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on six hits. Braydon Fisher earned the win in relief, pitching the final two outs of the seventh inning without allowing any runs.

Toronto Blue Jays Dominate New York Yankees in First Two Games of Series

The Toronto Blue Jays secured victories in the first two games of this series by capitalizing on the New York Yankees bullpen, scoring eight runs in the final two innings on Tuesday. The Yankees have struggled in recent weeks, with a 13-14 record in June and starting July with a loss. In contrast, the Blue Jays had a strong 16-10 record in June. Despite his solid performances, Berrios has not seen significant results in terms of wins and losses. My decision to support the Yankees with Fried pitching did not yield positive results, especially considering the struggles of the bullpen, which has given up 11 runs in just five innings in this series. Warren may have the ability to strike out batters, but his lack of pitching depth poses a challenge. Therefore, I recommend selecting the Toronto Blue Jays as the favored team in this home game.
