The New York Yankees took on the Toronto Blue Jays in game two of a three-game series to open the 2021 regular season on Saturday. After losing Opening Day 3-2 in extra innings, the Yankees bounced back nicely, securing a 5-3 victory with new starting pitcher Corey Kluber on the mound.
While the Yankees offense still needs a bit more time to get in the groove, they showed a bit more liveliness against Toronto starter Ross Stripling. In just 3.1 innings, they posted seven hits and three runs off Stripling, getting him up to 77 pitches before they replaced him with Tyler Chatwood.
