Yankees Luis Severino was masterful, pitching five shutout innings. He allowed just three hits and struck out nine on 80 pitches. The two-time All-Star hasn’t allowed a run in nine innings since rejoining the club earlier this month.
New York’s offense exploded early with four runs in the first. Aaron Judge hit a solo homer against Blue Jays opener Wilmer Font. It was Judge’s 26th homer of the season. He’s posted a 1.111 OPS with 14 home runs and 21 RBI in his last 29 games.
Thirty-six-year old Brett Gardner also continued his hot hitting. He smacked a three-run shot in the first—his 27th of the season.
