Last night, the Blue Jays were in New York to face the Yankees. And things didn’t go exactly as planned for John Schneider’s team to start the road trip.<\/p>\n

In fact, Patrick Corbin wasn’t perfect (he gave up three runs over four innings), which put pressure on the bullpen. And let’s just say the bullpen, where a few pitchers were unavailable, was put to the test.<\/p>\n

The good news? Adam Macko, making his Major League debut, was excellent in one inning of work. He didn’t give up a run.<\/p>\n

The bad news? Yariel Rodriguez, who gave up four runs on two two-run homers, faltered. And that was a key factor in last night’s 7-6 loss.<\/p>\n

The Blue Jays led 3-1 and 5-3 at one point in the game. But seeing Rodriguez (who had performed well since his recall up to that point) blow the lead in the seventh inning was a tough blow for his team, which never really recovered.<\/p>\n

The Blue Jays scored a run late in the game, but to no avail: it ended 7-6 in favor of the Bombers.<\/p>\n

The series is still young, but this was a first step toward revenge for the New Yorkers. After all, let’s not forget that Toronto beat the Bronx squad last year in the playoffs.<\/p>\n

The Blue Jays had the Yankees’ number in 2025. Will it be the other way around in 2026? It’s a fair question.<\/p>\n
