Yankees Lose Record Streak of 2665 Games Without Back-to-Back Shutouts

“It seems more attainable”. Tell the Yankees how comfortable they were with an eight game lead over Toronto, while Baltimore Orioles looked to be making a push.

“Incredible”, Estrada said. “It’s been a great ride”. Including a couple of items helped rather a lot. “We haven’t done anything yet but excite our fans”. A home run by Jose “No, No, I Swear, I’ve Never Used Steroids” Bautista in the 4th. Not since May 1999 against the Angels had the Yankees been blanked in two straight – that stretch of 2,665 games between consecutive shutouts was the longest in major league history, the team said in citing research by the Elias Sports Bureau.

In all seriousness, throwing the ball back is pretty dumb.

First off, apologies to the Minnesota Twins, Kansas City Royals and Philadelphia Phillies, which we are certain are all fine, upstanding baseball organizations.

Ticket prices started to skyrocket after David Price was traded to the Jays. After the game, Gardner was asked about being unexpectedly hit in the head, stating, “I just wore it. Didn’t even turn around”, he said. He fortifies a now-sturdy rotation in front of veterans Mark Buerhle, R.A. Dickey and Marco Estrada. A walk to Beltran and a single by Chase Headley in the 7th. But the reigning AL Cy Young Award victor said he just followed his regular low-key approach (see full recap). “It’s been a tough spot for us. We have a good offense, we just struggled this weekend for whatever reason”. That’s got to be better than trying to show the other team that you don’t care about their home runs, right?

Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki hit his third home run with the Blue Jays, driving a 3-and-2 pitch from reliever Bryan Mitchell into the left field seats with two out in the seventh.

In Oakland, California, Danny Valencia homered in the fourth inning for the Athletics and singled in the winning run in the ninth for a 5-4 win over the Houston Astros. After a three-game sweep of the New York Yankees over the weekend, they’re now 61-52 and only 1 1/2 games out of first in the AL East. Get in front of a ball and miss it and you’re probably going to be charged with an error. Donaldson hit. 385 with 10 hits, nine runs, and five homers. Encarnacion’s middle finger has been bothering him for a while, and he aggravated it on a swing Saturday.

“Toronto came in, it was a tight series, we pitched extremely well and we obviously came on the short end of the stick”, Cashman said Monday. Yankees manager Joe Girardi may have the answer but it is still hard to comprehend how such a potent offense can suddenly go sour and so fast in a matter of days. Let’s take a look at why Josh Donaldson has been the undisputed MVP for the Blue Jays so far in 2015. He stayed in to play second base. The result of these games will inevitably determine who wins the division, and although the teams are trending in opposite directions at the moment (the Yankees are 4-6 in their last 10 games), there is still plenty of season left.

Make the statement, Yankees.

Trevor Bauer (9-8) won for the first time since July 8, allowing four runs in 6⅓ innings.
