Toronto Blue Jays Prepare for Showdown with New York Yankees
The Toronto Blue Jays are riding high after a thrilling 13-9 victory over the Cincinnati Reds, a series in which they scored a total of 29 runs. With this win, the Blue Jays have maintained their lead in the AL East division.
In the last game against the Reds, Zack Littell, the Blue Jays' pitcher, faced some challenges. He allowed 5 runs and 7 hits in four and a third innings, including four home runs. Despite this, Daulton Varsho and Alejandro Kirk stepped up with consecutive home runs in the fourth inning, and Addison Barger and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. followed suit in the fifth, helping the team tie their season high with five home runs.
As they prepare for their next series, the Blue Jays will face a tough opponent: the New York Yankees, who currently sit second in the division. The game is scheduled to start on Friday, but the Blue Jays have yet to announce their starting pitcher for the matchup.
Zack Littell's performance against the Reds has raised some concerns, as he has given up the most home runs (34) in the MLB this season, tying with the Tampa Bay Rays and the Reds. However, the Blue Jays will be looking to put this behind them and secure another win against the Yankees.
George Springer also contributed to the team's home run tally in the game against the Reds, and the Blue Jays will be hoping for similar contributions as they look to claim victory in their upcoming series. The Blue Jays and Yankees are set for an exciting matchup, and fans can expect a thrilling game of baseball.
