NEW YORK — Aaron Judge isn’t happy with the energy. Gerrit Cole is pissed off at himself for walking the No. 8 hitter in the Blue Jays lineup. Aaron Boone slammed his hand down on the table postgame and raised his voice. The Yankees’ horrific slide continued Saturday with a 5-2 loss to the Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium.
It was the third straight loss for the Yankees (73-48) and ninth in their last 11 games and 15th in their last 19. The Blue Jays (65-54) clinched the series win and go for the sweep on Sunday. It was the sixth straight series loss for the Yankees, the longest streak of series losses since 1985.
The Blue Jays cut the Yankees' lead in the division, which was 15.5 games on July 8, to seven games.
