New York Yankees at Toronto Blue Jays

McAdoo’s clutch 7th-inning double helps lift Blue Jays past Yankees 4-1

McAdoo also had an RBI single and Brett Bateman reached base three times as the Blue Jays inched closer to the final AL wild-card spot.

Spencer Miles (5-2), the fifth of seven Blue Jays pitchers, went one inning for the win and Louis Varland struck out the side in the ninth for his 28th save in 29 opportunities.

The Yankees had four hits, all singles, and lost their third straight game. New York has scored two total runs in those games.

Pinch hitter Ernie Clement singled on the first pitch he saw from Brent Headrick (6-2) to begin the seventh. McAdoo followed with an RBI double off the wall.

McAdoo and Nathan Lukes had RBI off Tim Hill in Toronto's two-run eighth.

McAdoo started in place of six-time All-Star Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who went on the seven-day IL earlier Saturday because of concussion symptoms. Guerrero left Friday’s 3-1 victory following a collision with Yankees rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr. at third base.

Yankees right-hander Cam Schlittler allowed one run and four hits in 5 1/3 innings, his fourth straight winless start. Schlittler is winless in five career starts against Toronto.

After Blue Jays right-hander Braydon Fisher opened with a scoreless first, left-hander Ricky Tiedemann came on for his major league debut.

Spencer Jones hit a leadoff single, stole second and scored on a one-out hit by George Lombard Jr., but Tiedemann retired the next four batters.

Toronto tied it on Alejandro Kirk’s two-out single in the third.

Up next Blue Jays RHP Dylan Cease (7-5, 2.40 ERA) is scheduled to face Yankees LHP Ryan Weathers (5-7, 3.69) on Sunday.
