The Yankees clinched a much-needed victory, though they must sustain this success to reclaim the AL East lead. The Blue Jays defeated the Angels in a close battle, winning all three games by a single run. Mike Trout initially propelled the Angels with a homer, but the Jays responded with strong offense led by Bo Bichette. Despite good pitching performances, the Angels could not secure a win. The Twins nearly upset the Rays, but the latter prevailed in extra innings, underscoring the competitive nature of the day's games.
Mike Trout got the Angels out in front quickly, muscling a Kevin Gausman fastball out to right for a solo shot in the first inning.
Toronto escaped with a sweep, now heading to play the White Sox in a three-game set starting tonight.
Every game of this series could have gone either way, and in another universe, the Yankees have gained ground.
Gausman was otherwise very solid. The right-hander struck out nine over 5.2 innings, allowing two runs and ultimately departing with the score tied 2-2.
