The visiting New York Yankees aim to ride the momentum from a dramatic win into the rubber match of their three-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday night.

Left-handed hitters have a .282 batting average against Warren, which is ideal for the Phillies with sluggers Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper headlining the order. The former has four home runs in the last week, while the latter has nine hits since play resumed from the All-Star break.

Chris Bassitt struck out eight, Bo Bichette hit a two-run homer and the host Toronto Blue Jays defeated the sloppy New York Yankees 8-4 on Wednesday night.

Entering Saturday’s game, the Yankees’ 120 wRC+ was the best in baseball. They lead MLB in home runs, walk percentage, isolated power, on-base percentage, slugging percentage and wOBA. This offense is deadly enough to carry them to title No. 28.

“Just not good enough,” said manager Aaron Boone, who along with pitching coach Matt Blake was ejected in the seventh inning for arguing balls and strikes. “We’ve got to obviously tighten it up. Confident we will. We’ll continue to work at it. We have good defenders here. But tonight was obviously a rough night for us.”

The Yankees have fallen from a -1,100 favorite to win the AL East due to a surging Toronto squad that has won 19 of its last 24 games.

The Queens edition of the Subway Series between the New York Mets and the New York Yankees included all the off-field gimmicks and silly jokes that were absent back in May when this matchup took place in the corporate setting of Yankee Stadium.
