TORONTO – The Yankees were a sure thing to run their winning streak to 10 and match the best start in franchise history, until they suddenly weren’t.
With the combination of a rare poor outing by a rotation member and just-as-rare subpar work from their bullpen, the Yankees’ nine-game winning streak came to an end Sunday in a 10-9 loss to the Blue Jays in front of 44,395 at Rogers Centre.
The Yankees (49-17), who still won the series by taking the first two games here and lead the Blue Jays (38-28) by 11 games in the AL East, appeared poised for a sweep when they took an 8-3 lead into the bottom of the sixth.
