Blue Jays Eliminate Yankees in ALDS at Yankee Stadium

Aaron Boone says he expects to return under contract, sharpening focus on the front office and roster construction.

Overview

  • Toronto won 5-2 in Game 4 to take the series 3-1 and reach the ALCS for the first time since 2016, extending the Yankees’ title drought to 16 seasons.
  • The Blue Jays outscored New York 34-19 and piled up 50 hits across the series, led by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. with support from Ernie Clement, Daulton Varsho, Alejandro Kirk, Addison Barger, Nathan Lukes and Myles Straw.
  • Aaron Judge batted .500 (13-for-26) this postseason, but the Yankees managed six hits in the clincher and left the bases loaded in the eighth.
  • Boone said he expects to remain manager under a contract through 2027, as post-series scrutiny centers on the roster’s balance and depth.
  • Toronto’s 8-5 head-to-head edge provided the regular-season tiebreaker and a bye after both teams finished 94-68, shaping the ALDS matchup and context.
