The New York Yankees fell to the Toronto Blue Jays 5-6 on Wednesday evening, giving their opponents a sign of life in the Wild Card. With the Boston Red Sox overcoming the Baltimore Orioles, the Yankees sit just one game ahead of Boston for the first place spot in the Wild Card. The Seattle Mariners are 0.5 games from Boston in second place, so winning on Thursday evening is a necessity for a Yankees team they couldn’t find a way with ace Gerrit Cole on the mound.
However, during this exciting streak of wins, sluggers Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton have been on fire.
