Yankees fans in disaray after four game sweep by Blue Jays
The post Yankees fans in disaray after four game sweep by Blue Jays appeared first on ClutchPoints. Even with several key players sidelined due to injuries, the New York Yankees couldn't keep up with the Toronto Blue Jays, who soared to the top of the American League East, thanks mainly to one of George Springer's most impressive performances in recent memory. The Blue Jays concluded their four-game series with a victory against the Yankees, winning 8-5, on Thursday night at Rogers Centre, as they moved into first place. Advertisement Springer had a huge game, going 3-for-4 with two home runs and four RBIs, which totaled four home runs and 11 RBIs in the four-game series. The 35-year-old designated hitter hit a two-run homer in the third inning and followed it up with another in the eighth to secure the win, pushing Toronto's record to 49-38 — just one game ahead of the Yankees and the Rays. Fans have begun to vent their thoughts and feelings on social media this week. Some want to see manager Aaron Boone fired. Others were even more confused as to why Aaron Judge's actions in the series did not receive a great deal of attention during the series. Many fans have taken the time to commend Springer's impressive series. The Blue Jays' balanced performance sharply contrasts with the Yankees' difficulties in tight games. Although they have a substantial +100 run differential, New York has a disappointing 16 -25 record in one- and two-run games. Both have made tight, one-run games, but good teams find ways to win in those scenarios. Toronto has a milder +9 run differential, but they are 26 -17 in those games. Blue Jays manager John Schneider credited the team's success to their execution and ability to adapt. 'It's not just about hitting a three-run homer or piling up 10 strikeouts.''He is right; it's about those key moments in the game.' he said. Advertisement As they head towards the All-Star break, the Blue Jays want to win a third straight vs. the Angels, the White Sox, and the Athletics.

Yankees' Clarke Schmidt hits injured list after Blue Jays sweep
The post Yankees' Clarke Schmidt hits injured list after Blue Jays sweep appeared first on ClutchPoints. The New York Yankees are in an absolute tailspin. They were swept by the Toronto Blue Jays in a four-game series for the first time in franchise history. That knocked them out of first place in the AL East as the second Subway Series of the year kicks off in Queens. It only got worse on Friday with a big injury announcement. The Yankees placed Clarke Schmidt on the injured list with a right forearm injury after a shortened start on Thursday. Advertisement 'Prior to [Friday's] game, the Yankees made the following roster moves: Recalled RHP Scott Effross (#57) from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Recalled LHP Jayvien Sandridge (#88) from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Placed RHP Clarke Schmidt on the 15-day injured list with right forearm tightness,' the official team account announced. The Yankees have dealt with a barrage of pitching injuries this season, starting back in spring training. Gerrit Cole is out for the year, Luis Gil is still ramping up, and Schmidt missed the first 17 games. Through all of that, Max Fried and Carlos Rodon have been sensational. But in recent weeks, the Yankees have tumbled. A key pitching injury is not what they needed. The Yankees have lost 13 of their last 19 games, falling out of first place. While the season is far from over, a familiar tune is ringing through The Bronx. June swoons have become expected, but this one lasted into the first three days of July. Now, with a replacement starter likely making two starts instead of Schmidt, things could get ugly. The Mets and Yankees are facing each other at the exact right time. Both teams are struggling and have fallen out of the top spot in their respective divisions. Could the Subway Series serve as the launching pad for one team? Or will they both continue their summer struggles?
