The New York Yankees, desperate for a win after losing 4 consecutive games, 2 against the Blue Jays, hoped for a win tonight to at least split the series. The Yankees pitted their pitching sensation, Luis Gil, against the Blue Jays’ Alek Manoah. But, the Yankees, more than anything, hoped their powerful lineup would again awaken and score some runs. Other than Brett Gardner to Yankees hitter were Awol. The Yankees lost the game 6-3 for their fifth loss in a row and slipping out of the wild card advantage.
In his first three starts for the Yankees, Luis Gil had not allowed a run, and the Yankees hoped he would continue that trend.
