NEW YORK -- Coming off a series loss to the Rays and suddenly taking some water atop the American League Wild Card race, the Yankees did not put themselves in a position to succeed early on Friday night.
Down, 4-0, to the Blue Jays after a rough top of the first from Lance Lynn, the Yankees used two rallies to bounce back at Yankee Stadium. After RBI hits from Didi Gregorius and Miguel Andujar cut the deficit in half in the bottom of the inning, Neil Walker put New York ahead, 5-4, with a three-run home run off Marcus Stroman in the fourth.
