In an intense game at Rogers Centre, the New York Yankees' offense struggled to gain momentum against Toronto's pitching. The team managed only four hits throughout nine innings and scored their lone run in the second inning. This brief spark was not enough to ignite further scoring opportunities as they left nine runners on base and had an on-base percentage (OBP) of .194.


The pitching staff for the Yankees showed resilience despite being handed their fifth loss of the season. The bullpen pitched three scoreless innings with an earned run average (ERA) of 0.0 and struck out two batters while allowing just one hit. However, it was starting pitcher Luis Gil who suffered his first loss after giving up three runs over five innings pitched.
