The New York Yankees had their 11-game win streak come to an end on Wednesday night with a 2-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays in the series finale at the Rogers Centre.
Nestor Cortes got the start for New York and labored, but was able to get through four innings. He allowed a pair of runs on four hits while walking four and striking out three.
Michael King did an outstanding job in relief as he tossed three perfect innings while striking out three. Clay Holmes also fired a scoreless inning.
The Yankees’ only run of the game came in the third when Joey Gallo launched one over the wall in left-center to tie the game.
Joey Gallo’s third home run of the season.
