TORONTO (AP) — Chris Bassitt pitched into the seventh inning to win his second straight start, Alejandro Kirk reached base three times and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Yankees 3-1 on Monday night, handing New York consecutive losses for the first time this season.
“We are not happy about it, but it happened,” said infielder Oswaldo Cabrera, who drove in New York’s only run. “We are just getting ready for tomorrow’s game.”
New York (12-5) lost 8-7 at Cleveland on Sunday when the Guardians scored three runs in the 10th.
The Yankees lost a series opener for the second time in six tries, with both defeats coming against the Blue Jays. Toronto won 3-0 in New York’s home opener on April 5.
Bassitt (2-2) allowed one run and four hits in 6 1/3 innings to help Toronto extend its winning streak to a season-high three games.
“It’s a very tough lineup but we had a game plan and stuck to it,” he said.
