Yankees Head Home Facing Elimination After Back-to-Back Beatdowns in Toronto

Toronto Blue Jays scored a combined 23 runs in the first two ALDS games, putting the Yankees on the brink of elimination with their dominant offense and pitching.

  • The New York Yankees lost Game 2 of the ALDS 13-7 to the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday, Oct. 5, 2025, in Toronto, facing elimination as they head home for Game 3 on Tuesday night.
  • The losses followed a difficult season north of the border where the Yankees fell in eight of nine games and allowed a postseason-high 23 runs in two ALDS games.
  • Max Fried was pulled after three-plus innings as Toronto's hitters, led by rookie Trey Yesavage's 11 strikeouts, consistently challenged New York's pitching, while the Blue Jays' offense stayed aggressive and effective.
  • Yankees manager Aaron Boone acknowledged the difficulty, saying, "it feels like the world's caving in around you," but insisted, "We haven't lost any confidence" and emphasized the team still believes it can win.
  • The Yankees must improve pitching and hitting execution to avoid elimination in Game 3, maintaining an even-keel, one-day-at-a-time mindset despite the daunting scores and Toronto's home dominance.
