Vladimir Guerrero Jr. got the torment started early with his sixth home run in eight games... The Yankees' best hopes for this series is to split two games apiece, after Saturday's dreadful 9-3 loss to the Blue Jays.
Very little of anything went right, even as the Yankees put two men on in the top of the first... Aaron Judge's rocket of a comebacker struck Chris Bassitt on the forearm, and while Toronto's righty almost immediately sported a fist-sized welt, the Yankees were unable to push that injury any further.
The death knell may have come when Gleyber Torres was thrown out on the back half of a strike-'em-out, throw-'em-out double play in the sixth, when the score was just 3-1... with the Jays batting around in a five-run sixth that perhaps best encapsulated how bad the last two weeks have been.
Yankees have now allowed 100 runs in 13 games since June 15. That's the most in MLB over that span... And this is something I'm coming back to a lot this month. Yes, the Yankees have lost Giancarlo Stanton and for at least today, Juan Soto.
