The New York Yankees defeat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 on Saturday afternoon, with Paul Goldschmidt providing the decisive offense. Multiple reports describe a low-scoring game in which Toronto pitching limits New York through most of the contest, holding the Yankees hitless or largely contained for much of the middle innings. The game remains tight into the ninth inning, when Toronto brings in closer Louis Varland. After Cody Bellinger opens the frame with a single, Goldschmidt hits a two-run home run to left field to break the tie and give New York the lead. The long ball is described as roughly a 400-foot shot and as Goldschmidt’s ninth home run of the season. Varland is noted as having allowed few runs this season and not surrendering a home run for an extended stretch before the ninth inning. With the Yankees taking the lead late, their pitching holds for the final score of 3-1. The win is described as part of a recent stretch that has lifted New York’s results, including a fifth victory in the team’s last six games.
