Blue Jays Dominate Yankees in ALDS Games 1 and 2, Lead Series 2-0

The New York Yankees have struggled significantly against the Toronto Blue Jays in the American League Division Series, suffering heavy defeats in both Games 1 and 2. In Game 1, the Yankees were dominated 10-1, with Toronto's Alejandro Kirk and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. powering the offense and Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman delivering a strong pitching performance. The Yankees' pitching, including Luke Weaver and Luis Gil, was criticized for poor control and short outings, which contributed to the lopsided losses. In Game 2, Max Fried was chased early after giving up seven runs, while rookie Trey Yesavage of Toronto pitched a no-hitter into the sixth inning, striking out 11. Despite a late offensive surge by the Yankees in Game 2, the team has now allowed 23 runs over two games, marking the worst two-game playoff span in franchise history. With the Yankees down 0-2 in the best-of-five series, they face elimination unless they improve dramatically in the upcoming games at Yankee Stadium.
