McAdoo’s clutch 7th-inning double helps lift Blue Jays past Yankees 4-1

Charles McAdoo's crucial RBI double in the seventh inning propelled the Toronto Blue Jays to a 4-1 victory over the New York Yankees, marking the Blue Jays' 13th win in their last 19 games.

McAdoo showcased his batting prowess with two hits, including a game-tying RBI double off the wall in the seventh. He also contributed with an RBI single earlier in the game. Nathan Lukes and Alejandro Kirk added to the Blue Jays' scoring with RBIs in the eighth and third innings, respectively.

Spencer Miles of the Blue Jays clinched the win with a one-inning performance, while Louis Varland sealed the deal with a save in the ninth inning, striking out the side. The Yankees, in contrast, managed only four hits, all singles, and fell to their third consecutive loss, now trailing in their quest for the AL wild-card spot.

New York's Cam Schlittler struggled, allowing one run and failing to secure a win in five career starts against Toronto. The Blue Jays benefited from the absence of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who sat out due to concussion symptoms following a collision with Yankees rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr. earlier in the day.

The Blue Jays opened the game strong, with Braydon Fisher allowing a scoreless first inning. Ricky Tiedemann, making his major league debut, added to the Blue Jays' early momentum. Despite Toronto's first run on Alejandro Kirk's single in the third inning, the Yankees managed to tie the game on Alejandro Kirk's two-out hit. Spencer Jones drove in the Blue Jays' second run with a leadoff single, stealing second and scoring on George Lombard Jr.'s one-out hit.
