Down 7-0 in the first inning, the Yankees clawed all the way back to tie the game 9-9 in the eighth, only to watch the Toronto Blue Jays reclaim it in the ninth and win it 11-9. The loss not only stung emotionally but also cost New York sole possession of first place in the AL East.

The Toronto Blue Jays wasted an eight-run lead, then outlasted the Yankees 11-9 Wednesday night as George Springer scored the go-ahead run on Devin Williams' eighth-inning wild pitch to tie New York for the AL East lead.

The Yankees had a seven-game lead in the AL East on May 28. It’s now erased, and the Tampa Bay Rays, in third place, are just a half game back of the Yankees. Judge said he has no concerns about the Yankees no longer being in first place in the division.
