The New York Yankees' postseason hopes took a significant hit after a 7-3 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium. The defeat pushed the Yankees further out of the Wild Card race and closer to missing the playoffs for the first time since 2016.

Toronto's offense was led by Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBIs. The Blue Jays jumped out to an early lead against Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt, who gave up five runs over four innings, and never looked back.

For the Yankees, the struggles on offense continued. Despite a two-run home run from Aaron Judge in the sixth inning, New York couldn’t muster enough to challenge Toronto’s lead. The Yankees have struggled to find consistency at the plate, and their inability to produce runs has been a key factor in their disappointing season.

Manager Aaron Boone acknowledged the uphill battle his team now faces. “We’re not where we want to be, and we know we need to play better,” Boone said. “We’re going to keep fighting, but we’re running out of time.”

The win was crucial for the Blue Jays, who are in a tight race for a Wild Card spot. With just a few weeks left in the regular season, every game is critical for Toronto as they aim to secure their place in the postseason.
