The New York Yankees face the Toronto Blue Jays in a regular season game on Tuesday, May 3, 2022 (5/3/22) at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
1999 — Boston’s Creighton Gubanich hit a grand slam for his first major league hit in a 12-11, 10-inning loss to Oakland. Gubanich became the fourth player to accomplish the feat and the first since Seattle’s Orlando Mercado did it Sept. 19, 1982. 2009 — Carl Crawford tied a modern major league record with six stolen bases to help Tampa Bay beat Boston 5-3. Liriano, the reigning AL comeback player of the year, was backed by Jason Kubel’s fourth-inning homer. Jenkins beat the Baltimore Orioles 3-2 at Arlington Stadium. Cy Young, Jim Bunning and Gaylord Perry also reached the milestone. Fans in New York can watch the game for free via a trial of DirectTV Stream, which carries YES Network.

McDougald had a two-run triple and a grand slam in an 11-run ninth inning.
Jameson Taillon (1-1, 3.26 ERA, 3.80 FIP) gets the ball for the Yankees, making his fifth start of the season. The right-hander has been solid in the early part ...
His 1.44 ERA is best on the team, although that FIP suggests some regression is in order, and he’s held opponents to just 5.4 hits per nine. With the way the Yankees’ bats have been swinging of late, if he replicated that tonight, the Yankees will be in business. Aaron Hicks takes the former’s leadoff spot, while Marwin Gonzalez will bat seventh and man left. That said, he does have a propensity for the long ball, and against a dominant lineup like Toronto’s, that could be trouble. The right-hander has been solid in the early part of the season, striking out a little under a batter per inning and walking pretty much no one. Ten wins in a row is sweet, but you know what’s even sweeter?
As the favorite, the Yankees (-138 moneyline odds to win) take the field at the Blue Jays (+117). The New York Yankees will give the start to Nestor Cortes Jr.

Veteran OF Dexter Fowler asked for and was granted his release from Toronto’s Triple-A team, the Buffalo Bisons. Fowler, who signed a minor-league deal with the Blue Jays on March 31, is now a free agent. Overcome with emotion, the boy started crying and gave the man a hug. Replays appeared to show Guerrero did tag Gonzalez, but Toronto had already lost its challenge earlier in the inning. It’s the seventh time in franchise history that New York has won 18 of its first 24 games. “That’s what’s special about this game, man,” Judge said when told about the exchange. New York leads the MLB with 34 home runs this season, including 23 in the past 11 games. “He got all of that one. Toronto, meanwhile, snapped a streak of 32 games without consecutive losses, dating back to Sept. 24, 2021. Two pitches later, Judge hit his game-tying home run. “Timely hitting, the pitching has been great. “It’s really exciting what he’s doing.” “Everything is clicking,” Stanton said.

Something has to give here, as the Yankees have won ten in a row and Monoah is 8-0 with a 1.57 ERA in his last eight starts. In Monoah’s 24 career starts as a Blue Jay, the 24-year-old is a near guarantee to lead Toronto to a victory. The Blue Jays twirler even was sharp in his MLB back on May 27th of last year versus New York, as he pitched six scoreless innings of two-hit ball in a 2-0 victory for the men in blue. 9-4 in their past 13 games, Toronto would love to give a better sense of run support on Tuesday, as they went 1-8 with runners in scoring position yesterday. The Yankee’s lengthy winning streak has officially reached ten games, as New York edged out Toronto in a low-scoring affair of 3-2 on Monday night. The Yankee’s roster from top-to-bottom is filled with talent, as there is always a name that is capable of taking a game over when he is feeling his swing.

In fact, in three career starts against the Yankees, he pitched to a 1.53 ERA while striking out 18 in 17 2-3 innings of work. He’s pitched into the sixth in all 12 and never pitched fewer than 5 2-3 innings against the Yankees. Alek Manoah takes the ball for the Blue Jays. The 24-year-old right-hander has been outstanding this season. It’s really hard to fade Manoah in this spot considering how he’s pitching and his success against the Yankees. I just worry about run support. The big right-hander has allowed just four runs on 14 hits while striking out 25 batters over his first four starts of the season. He has pitched at least six innings in all four starts this season, and nine times during the 12 straight wins the Jays have notched when he’s been on the bump. We’ve already brought up the Yankees' path to success. Then there is the fact that these two simply play close games. The Jays enter this game with their own streak, having won 12 consecutive games Manoah has started. It certainly looks like these two teams will battle for the American League East all season. He has allowed just four runs on 14 hits while striking out 25 batters over his first four starts of the season. Our best bet is our favorite pick across all markets.
