Saturday afternoon started with a fun 20th anniversary celebration of the 1998 Yankees and ended with an 11-6 win over the Blue Jays. There were some bumps in the road along the way, sure, but a five-run win is a five-run win. Pretty easy, all things considered.
Building An Eight-Run Lead
The Yankees came out and did exactly what they should’ve done against rookie Sean-Reid Foley, who was making his second career start. He pitched in five separate innings and allowed at least one run in all five. A Brett Gardner walk and a Didi Gregorius home run gave the Yankees a 2-0 lead in the first and Austin Romine stretched it to 3-0 with a second inning sacrifice fly.
