For the first time this season, the Yankees have completed a three-game sweep. Naturally it came with a shutout against the Blue Jays, in what was originally billed as a bullpen game with someone who hadn’t yet made an appearance in 2016. Go figure. The pitching loomed large, however, as New York topped Toronto by a score of 2 - 0.
The Yankees struck first in the bottom of the third inning. With two outs, Starlin Castro hit a solo home run that just scraped over the left field wall. Marcus Stroman left a hanging slider right over the plate and Castro deposited it into the seats.
