New York Yankees: Starting pitching is most impressive part of 2-0 start
Kevin Pillar moved to third on the play and scored on a Travis single. The Yankees tried threatening with a two-out Judge single, but that's about all they could muster.
Toronto has hit at least one home run in each of its first four games. Instead, the Yankees were not able to hold on to a 4-1 lead and melted down to a 7-4 loss Sunday. "I didn't think I could throw him another curveball; he'd already seen too many then". Pillar is batting.462 (6-for-13).
"I'm glad I was thinking the way I was thinking", Smoak said of his decision to look for the fastball. "I thought he might try to do it again". "I can't do that".
Toronto's comeback denied NY its first series victory north of the border since August 2015. The Blue Jays stole four times in the eighth against him.
Toronto's pitching staff has allowed 4.3 runs per game overall this season as a unit.
"His breaking ball we feel like is a good matchup for Smoak there", Boone said. A day earlier, he was 3-for-4 with a double and two RBIs in the Blue Jays' 5-3 victory.
Tyler Clippard (1-0) worked an inning of relief for the win and Seung Hwan Oh pitched the ninth for his first save.
One thing that the offence will need to improve on is trying to get some production against the opposing teams starting pitching. Austin hit a two-run drive in the fifth and a solo shot in the seventh.
Gaining a split against the Yankees was important for the Blue Jays, who had a poor April in 2017 and failed to make the postseason after reaching the American League Championship Series in the two previous seasons.
Josh Donaldson was walking to the plate. Brett Gardner, who began the day getting a day off, ultimately played eight-plus innings in left after McKinney's departure.

Trump rolls back Obama-era fuel efficiency rules
Pruitt hinted Monday that California will need to come aboard the federal standard at the level set by the Trump administration. A dozen states, including NY , have adopted California's standard.
On Sunday the Yankees recalled infielder Miguel Andujar from Triple-A.
Reliever Adam Warren became the second Yankee to leave the field with an injury after taking an Aledmys Diaz comebacker on the inside of his ankle in the sixth inning. Boone called on Jonathan Holder, whose 1-1 curveball to Luke Maile was laced into left field.
Needless to say, Stanton and Judge are going to combine for quite a few dingers this year. Detroit starter Ryan Carpenter lasted three innings in his major league debut, yielding three runs and five hits.
The game took three hours three minutes to play and announced attendance was 29,091.
The thrilling move paid off as the Blue Jays topped NY 5-3 for their first win of the season. Boone said he isn't certain OF Jacoby Ellsbury (strained right oblique) will be ready to come off the disabled list when he is eligible Thursday.
"You can't do any better than he did today", manager John Gibbons said.
Notes: Donaldson (dead arm) was the designated hitter for a third straight game. LHP Sam Moll cleared waivers and was assigned to the minor leagues.
The Blue Jays (2-2) put runners on the corners with nobody out in the bottom half of the frame against Sonny Gray but couldn't push a run across.
Toronto starter Marcus Stroman was on a pitch count after being hampered by a right shoulder injury at spring training.
