"Blue Jays Sweep Braves and Yankees in Impressive Week"

The New York Yankees used reliever Jimmy Cordero as an opener before turning to starter-turned-bulk reliever Jhony Brito, who pitched five shutout innings against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Yankees' strategy was due to Brito's struggles against right-handed hitters, with Cordero holding righties to a .171/.256/.257 slash line. Manager Aaron Boone was ejected in the eighth inning after arguing a low called strike on Aaron Judge with home plate umpire Clint Vondrak. Harrison Bader and DJ LeMahieu were out of the starting lineup, but both were fine physically.
