Blue Jays continue ‘beautiful dance’ with Bronx shutout
Sooner or later, the Blue Jays’ road will go through New York again, and this weekend in the Bronx is their opportunity to shorten the drive.
Friday’s 4-0 win was quick, clean and tight, with Kevin Gausman suffocating the Yankees’ lineup for seven innings. Even with the score close, it felt like the Blue Jays were up by a dozen — which is what Toronto has been on the other side of too often recently.
In a matter of days, the floundering Blue Jays have rediscovered their best baseball, exposing the cracks in a Yankees team that’s now 4-13 in August. This could be a blip, leaving Toronto to slip back tomorrow into the same frustrations that the club has felt for weeks, or it could be the start of something bigger. That’s up to the Blue Jays.
