They stole this one.
The headline coming in was a marquee pitching matchup, and we got just that as Kevin Gausman and Michael King traded zeroes all night. The two combined to throw 13 shutout frames while allowing just four hits, but neither factored in the decision as Austin Wells’ ninth-inning home run was the difference in the Yankees’ 2-0 win over the Blue Jays.
In the last six days, King has thrown 13 innings against the Blue Jays and allowed just a single run. He wasn’t quite as locked in as last week’s baker’s-dozen strikeout performance, walking five batters and striking out the same, but bore down when he needed to and got some key outs to deliver six shutout innings.
