Well, you cannot win if you do not score runs... and the Yankees didn't score any runs.
The Blue Jays won 3-0.
The Yankees need to forget about the wild pitches in the 9th inning.
You can't win them all - and they didn't win today.
The full recap will be right here tomorrow at 6:00 a.m. For now, here's your spot to discuss the game.
