Heroes and zeros from the Yankees’ 5-2 season-ending loss to the Blue Jays in ALDS Game 4 at the Stadium.
Hero
Cam Schlittler against a bullpen game seemed like a matchup until Johnny Wholestaff was put into motion. Eight different Blue Jays pitchers held the Yankees to six hits and two runs while striking out nine.
Zero
After an excellent wild-card series, Anthony Volpe sunk to 1-for-15 with 11 strikeouts in the ALDS. He chased Strike 3 in the seventh inning and heard loud boos on the way to the dugout. In the ninth, Aaron Boone sat Volpe for pinch-hitter Jasson Domínguez.
Unsung hero
There wasn’t a bigger hit than Nathan Lukes’ two-run single poked into left-center to allow Toronto some breathing room in the seventh.
Stat: 16
Years without a Yankees World Series championship.
