ENCARNACION HIT GIVES JAYS 4-3 WIN
Edwin Encarnacion’s bases-loaded single in the ninth inning gave the Toronto Blue Jays a dramatic 4-3 comeback win over the New York Yankees on Sunday.
The Yankees, who had been shut out their three previous games, had gone ahead 3-2 after getting to Toronto closer Roberto Osuna for two runs in the ninth.
Melvin Upton Jr. walked to open the bottom of the ninth and moved to third on a Kevin Pillar single off Tyler Clippard. Upton scored on Ezequiel Carrera’s bunt, with Clippard given an error on the play.
Devon Travis then struck out, and Josh Donaldson was walked intentionally, loading the bases for Encarnacion.
Toronto (86-69) has won five of six — and seven of 10 after a 3-9 start to September. New York (79-76) has lost four straight.
