When you look at the Blue Jays remaining schedule, broadly speaking, they should be able to take five from the Yankees, one or two from the Indians, five or six from the Angels, two from the Twins, four from the Rays, and one or two from the Mariners.

What should have been yet another coming out party for such New York Yankees’ rookies as Sanchez and Judge (who at 6 foot 7 was unable to catch Tulowitzki’s opposite field home run in the sixth inning) turned into a disaster for the New York Yankees on this night. In the fourth, the Yankees got another run back when Starlin Castro hit another solo home run.
Toronto Blue Jays batters re-discovered the baseball Tuesday night as they defeated the Yankees in NY by a clear margin of 12 to 6.
Just a day after the Yankees lost to the Blue Jays, the team played an afternoon game with hopes of winning the series in the Bronx.
Royals 6, Tigers 1: Danny Duffy won his ninth straight decision with the aid of four solo home runs, including the first of Raul Mondesi’s career, as the Kansas City Royals defeated the Detroit Tigers 6-1. He could do a rehab stint with Class A Dunedin and return next week when eligible.Tuesday’s game marked the fourth time in baseball history opposing starting catchers had two home runs.
In the fifth, Sabathia got little help from third baseman Chase Headley, whose back-to-back defensive mistakes set up a four-run frame. Others may look at that wild 10-9 victory on a insane Saturday afternoon at Rogers Centre when the Jays scored six times in the last two innings to overcome an 8-4 deficit. The Blue Jays took the game, and the series, with a 7-4 win.
“Actually, I told him after the first at-bat, get a new bat, that one ain’t working”, the manager said. Kirby Yates pitched a scoreless inning, Tommy Layne pitched a scoreless inning and Anthony Swarzak pitched a scoreless inning.
Bryce Harper hit his 21st homer, a two-run shot to right-center in the fifth off Christian Bergman that cut the Rockies’ lead to 9-6.
It was the second time in three days that Tulowitzki and Martin went back-to-back. Toronto’s decisive rally Tuesday started with Josh Donaldson grinding out his at-bat against just-inserted Adam Warren to draw a 12-pitch walk. After a one-out single by Troy Tulowitzki and a Melvin Upton Jr. walk, Ezequiel Carrera drove Tulowitzki in with a double to left. The streak stopped when he struck out to end the seven-run first inning.
Chasen Shreve entered and failed to retire any of his five batters. Toronto’s Edwin Encarnacion ground into the game-ending play. Michael Saunders had an RBI double, and Encarnacion’s groundout gave him three RBIs in a half-inning that lasted 37 minutes.

Jacob Turner (1-1) pitched the eighth and David Robertson retired the final two hitters with two on in the ninth for his 30th save (see full recap). To open a roster spot, Toronto designated OF Junior Lake for assignment.
