In Monday's game, the Yankees struggled offensively, with Giancarlo Stanton's homer accounting for their only run. Pitcher Max Fried will take the mound for the Yankees in their next game, coming off a loss in his last start. Fried has a strong record against the Blue Jays, with a 3-0 record and a 1.74 ERA in five previous starts against them.

Toronto Blue Jays

Toronto Blue Jays won their fourth straight game and extended their home win streak to a franchise-record 11 games by defeating the Yankees on Monday night. The Blue Jays hold a four-game lead in the AL East with a 59-41 record. They had a total of six hits in the game, with Alejandro Kirk having two hits. Kevin Gausman earned the win by pitching seven innings, allowing one run on four hits with two walks and eight strikeouts. Jeff Hoffman secured his 24th save by striking out the side in the ninth inning. In the upcoming game, Chris Bassitt will start for the Blue Jays.

Bassitt has a strong track record against the Yankees and has had success pitching at Rogers Centre.

Toronto Blue Jays Surge to Top of AL East Standings and Dominate at Rogers Centre

Recently, Toronto has experienced a surge in performance, allowing them to claim the top spot in the AL East standings. The Blue Jays have been particularly impressive at Rogers Centre, boasting a record of 36-16 as of Tuesday, and have secured victory in their last 11 home games. While Fried has shown promise in his debut season with the team, his pitching has been hindered by recurring blister issues, which forced him to exit his previous start prematurely before the All-Star break. On the other hand, the Yankees have struggled on the road with a 25-26 record and have faced difficulties against Toronto, losing 6 out of 8 matchups, including 5 losses at Rogers Centre. Given the current form of both teams, it is likely that Toronto will have the upper hand in the upcoming series finale.
