US EditionBlue Jays beat Yankees 5-2 in Game 4 to reach first ALCS since 2016
- The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the New York Yankees 5-2 in Game 4 of the American League Division Series on Wednesday night in New York, clinching a 3-1 series victory and their first ALCS appearance since 2016.
- After letting a substantial lead slip away in their previous defeat at Yankee Stadium, Toronto rebounded by deploying eight different pitchers who effectively stifled New York’s lineup in a bullpen effort.
- Highlights included early RBI contributions from Toronto’s first baseman and right fielder, with Nathan Lukes later adding a crucial two-run single in the seventh inning to extend the lead.
- Addison Barger contributed three of Toronto’s 12 hits, and Jeff Hoffman recorded the final four outs to secure the win, which knocked New York out of contention and extended the Yankees’ World Series drought dating back to 2009.
- After clinching the American League East title, Toronto will open the ALCS at home on Sunday, facing whichever team emerges victorious from the matchup between Detroit and Seattle.
