The New York Yankees are facing a challenging stretch as they find themselves tied for first place in the AL East after a tough loss against the Toronto Blue Jays. Despite a valiant effort from Aaron Judge, who hit a two-run homer to tie the game, the bullpen faltered late, leading to an 11-9 defeat.

Will Warren started strong but struggled early, allowing a three-run homer and failing to escape the first inning unscathed. The bullpen, notably Devin Williams, was unable to hold the lead after Judge's heroics. In addition to pitching woes, the Yankees' fundamental errors continued to plague them, raising concerns about their ability to capitalize on opportunities. As the trade deadline approaches, the Yankees must address their pitching depth and fundamental gaps to regain their dominance in the AL East.
