For nine innings on Wednesday night, the Yankees and Blue Jays’ lineups refused to score. Until the final pitch, the two teams combined to go 0-for-23 with runners in scoring position. No one wanted to score until one errant slider from Wandy Peralta to Danny Jansen decided the ballgame in the bottom of the 10th, giving Toronto a 3-0 walk-off victory.
Starter Gerrit Cole was able to give the Yankees some length, tossing six scoreless, but he ran his pitch count way up in the process. A pair of errors in the first — one of which Cole himself was responsible for — to go along with a cadre of cheap hits (three of the seven he allowed had an exit velocity under 80 mph) forced him to face extra hitters and pile up pitches.
