Was last night’s walk-off grand slam the beginning of the end of the Yankees’ slump? Perhaps tonight we’ll start to find out. The Blue Jays enter this four-game set tied with the Rays for second place the East, 10 games back; they’ve certainly gone through some scuffles of their own. A tidy series win for New York could really feel like putting the bow on the division after such a rough stretch of play.
Frankie Montas will make his third start for New York. His last time out was serviceable but not great, with five innings of two-run baseball against the Red Sox and Fenway.
