The Toronto Blue Jays routed the New York Yankees on Thursday night thanks to a history-making game from slugger George Springer.
The win moves the disappointing Blue Jays to 37-43 on the year while the Yankees continued their slide, having now lost 10 of their last 13 games. New York is still 52-31 on the season.
For the Jays, the win was a cathartic experience as rumors swirl about the team breaking up this group at the looming trade deadline. It was also a great performance for slugger George Springer, who went 3-for-3 with two homers and six RBI. Springer is hitting just .205 for the season, so this easily represents his best game of the year.
George Springer is the first player with 2 HR of 3+ runs in the first two innings of a game since Hanley Ramírez on 8/12/16After the game, Springer now has eight homers and 23 RBI for the year. Even with the solid night, he's still only got a .618 OPS.Marcus Stroman pitches against Yusei Kikuchi .Brady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
