Clarke Schmidt, who entered today’s game really struggling, probably deserved a better fate today. The righty was unhittable for five-plus innings, but after a defensive miscue, the Jays made him pay for a couple of mistakes. On a day when Yankee bats did little, that was enough to end with New York dropping its first series of the season, to the division rival Jays no less and with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. providing the crushing blow. Do not like. Never again, please.
Schmidt came out of the gate like his hair was on fire. First, he froze George Springer.
