Yankees end Jays streak in 9-inning nail-bitter

Yanks at Jays - Friday, August 14, 2015 - 7:07 pm

Top-3 - Jays ask for a review after a close play at first on a tough hit ball to 3B by the Yankees nine hitter Brendan Ryan. Jays loose their review privileges as MLB review umps rule Ryan is safe for the visitors 3rd hit of this scoreless game here in the 3rd.

This can't continue much longer. But it does ... Price strikes out the Yankees four hitter Teixeira with 2 on to end the Top of the 3rd.

Top-6 - Chris Young's slow bounder off Price up the middle - Goins bare-hands it and in one motion throws for the 3rd out of the 6th ... another zero. This can't go on.

Bot-9 - Troy Tulowitzki at bat against Yankee closer Andrew Miller with runners on 2nd and 3rd and 2 out down 4 runs to 3: Strike (looking), Ball, Strike (foul), Foul, Foul, Ball, Foul, Ball, Foul, Foul, Foul, Strike (swinging).

This loss will have no effect on the team as they battled the evil empire right to the last out. Great streak.

Yankees lead the AL East by 1/2 a game.

The Jays bats have been struggling over the last 4 games - see if they can turn that around tomorrow; game 2 of 3 (1:07 start).
