McAdoo's decisive double in 7th lifts Blue Jays over Yankees 4-1

Charles McAdoo delivered a clutch performance, hitting a go-ahead RBI double in the seventh inning that propelled the Toronto Blue Jays to a 4-1 win against the New York Yankees on Saturday. This victory marked Toronto's 13th win in their last 19 games, bringing them closer to securing an American League wild-card spot.

McAdoo was instrumental throughout the game, contributing an RBI single and reaching base three times. The Blue Jays tied the game in the third inning with a two-out single from Alejandro Kirk. Spencer Miles (5-2) secured the win with a scoreless inning as the fifth of seven Toronto pitchers, while Louis Varland closed out the game with a dominant ninth inning, striking out all three batters he faced for his 28th save in 29 opportunities.

The Yankees struggled offensively, managing only four hits, all singles, and have now lost three consecutive games, scoring a total of just two runs over that span. The decisive blow came in the seventh when Ernie Clement led off with a single, followed by McAdoo's double off the wall. Toronto added two more runs in the eighth against Tim Hill, with McAdoo and Nathan Lukes driving in runs.

Notably, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was placed on the seven-day concussion list earlier on Saturday. The six-time All-Star exited Friday's game after a collision with Yankees shortstop George Lombard Jr. Yankees pitcher Cam Schlittler allowed four hits and one run in 5 1/3 innings, remaining winless in his career against Toronto.
