"Kevin Gausman had been effective and economical through the first five innings, requiring just 50 pitches with the help of some dazzling defense and impatient at-bats from the Bombers. But with Anthony Volpe leading the sixth off with a double and Austin Wells and Trent Grisham following with a single and a walk, respectively, the right-hander seemed to be in trouble with Judge, fresh off another MVP-caliber season, approaching the batter's box."
"With the Yankees only mustering one run on a walk in the sixth, the Blue Jays went on to win the first-ever postseason matchup between the division rivals, 10-1. The outcome followed a regular season that saw the Yankees play some of their worst baseball north of the border, as they lost 6-of-7 games at the Rogers Centre over two series this summer."
Toronto's pitching and opportunistic hitting produced a 10-1 victory over New York in ALDS Game 1. Kevin Gausman limited the Yankees early, using efficient command and defensive support, and struck out Aaron Judge in a key sixth-inning jam. Louis Varland ended the sixth by striking out Giancarlo Stanton with a 100.7-mph fastball. New York managed only one run, a walk-scored run in the sixth. Luis Gil fell behind with consecutive early home runs, including Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s first postseason homer. The Yankees entered the game with recent struggles at Rogers Centre, where they lost six of seven this summer.
