The last time the Yankees and Blue Jays met, back in mid-April, the Yankees were scuffling around .500, and the Blue Jays looked ready to contend for a playoff spot. The teams have gone in opposite directions since, with the Yankees ripping off long winning streaks en route to one of the league’s best records, and the Jays slipping to fourth in the AL East. Their fates continued to diverge tonight.
The starting pitching matchup pitted a pair of crafty veterans, CC Sabathia and Marco Estrada. Neither really ever bothers to push the radar gun above 90 mph.
