TORONTO — Aroldis Chapman entered the game in the bottom of the ninth Friday, protecting a three-run lead.
He whiffed Josh Donaldson on a filthy slider in the dirt for the first out and then got Justin Smoak swinging on a 100-mph fastball.
But the Yankees closer added some drama to a 4-2 win over the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre by surrendering consecutive doubles — the first to pinch-hitter Steve Pearce and then another to Yangervis Solarte to bring the tying run to the plate.
Chapman recovered to get Randal Grichuk — who had homered off Masahiro Tanaka earlier in the game — looking on a 100-mph fastball.
