Overview

• Toronto fell 3-2 to Houston when Yainer Diaz homered off closer Jeff Hoffman in the ninth after the Blue Jays tied the game in the eighth.
• Manager John Schneider said he still trusts Hoffman, who has allowed 15 home runs in 62 1/3 innings this season.
• Despite the loss, Toronto preserved a three-game division edge as New York also lost; shortstop Bo Bichette is on the 10-day injured list retroactive to Sept. 7.
• The Yankees were routed 11-1 by the Tigers, with Camilo Doval and Tim Hill yielding late homers, marking the first time Yankees relievers have allowed nine earned runs in two straight games.
• Aaron Boone shifted to a day-to-day approach at shortstop, starting Jose Caballero and declining to reaffirm Anthony Volpe as the everyday option.
