Cole Labors, Yankees Fail Repeatedly To Get Big Hit In Opening Day Extra-Inning Loss To Blue Jays

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Randal Grichuk led off the 10th with an RBI double, and the Toronto Blue Jays took advantage of the second year of starting extra innings with a runner on second to beat the New York Yankees 3-2 Thursday in the major league opener.

Fans returned to Yankee Stadium for the first time since 2019. Capacity was limited to 20% because of coronavirus protocols, and the attendance was announced as 10,850.

Jordan Romano (1-0) escaped trouble in the ninth with the help of third baseman Cavan Biggio.
