Blue Jays Face Yankees After Series Loss; Astros Meet Royals

BRONX, New York — The Toronto Blue Jays (12-13) are set to face the New York Yankees (15-10) on Friday, April 25, after a tough series in Houston.

José Berríos will take the mound for Toronto, while Carlos Carrasco will pitch for New York. The Yankees return home following a seven-game road trip, where they finished 4-3.

During that trip, Aaron Judge showed his prowess at the plate, collecting hits in six of the seven games and batting .429 with 12 hits in 28 at-bats.

Conversely, the Blue Jays struggle with momentum, having lost five consecutive games, including a three-game sweep by the Astros last week. In that series, Toronto managed just two runs against Houston’s pitching.

In another matchup on the same day, the Houston Astros (13-11) will visit Kansas City to challenge the Royals (12-14). Hayden Wesneski is expected to pitch for the Astros, taking on Seth Lugo.

The Astros recently swept the Blue Jays and won their last game 3-1, thanks to Ryan Gusto’s strong performance on the mound.

The Royals are looking to keep their four-game winning streak alive after completing a sweep of the Colorado Rockies. Michael Lorenzen impressed in the last match, striking out seven batters.
