Goldschmidt’s late homer lifts Yankees past Blue Jays 3-1, spoiling Gausman’s outing

Gausman tossed a season-high 105 pitches in his seven innings. He struck out seven and walked a pair of New Yorkers. He fanned his final batter, Spencer Jones, to end his day and gave a little extra effort in the customary fling of his gum in front of the Blue Jays dugout.

Schlittler, the American League leader in ERA at 1.82, also went seven innings. He struck out seven but walked four in his 101-pitch effort before 42,364 at Rogers Centre.

Fernando Cruz (4-1) walked the bases loaded in the eighth, but survived to get the win. David Bednar picked up his 14th save.

Takeaways

Blue Jays: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had the day off with a tight back. Charles McAdoo started in place of Guerrero at first base and fouled out with the bases loaded at the Yankees’ dugout in the eighth.

Yankees: Outfielder and leadoff hitter Trent Grisham was placed on the 10-day injured list after suffering a right hamstring strain sliding into second base in the series opener on Friday.

Key moment

With Yankees on first and third with two out in the eighth, McAdoo made a diving stop on a Dominguez hard-hit grounder to end the inning.

Key stat

Ernie Clement’s second-inning single to right field increased his AL-leading hit total to 83. He also leads in doubles with 20.

Up next

Toronto lefty Patrick Corbin (2-3) will face Yankees righty Will Warren (7-1) in the series rubber match on Sunday.
