Carlos Rodon, who struggled with his command throughout, was victimized by errors by Oswald Peraza and Anthony Volpe in the fifth.

Giancarlo Stanton’s solo blast in the fourth gave the Yankees a 1-0 lead and brief momentum against Kevin Gausman. But in the very next inning, Carlos Rodon opened the door with a leadoff walk to George Springer.

With the trade deadline nearing, the Yankees need a third baseman, multiple relievers and rotation help. You know what else they need, though? To clean up their act.

Oswald Peraza and Anthony Volpe made back-to-back throwing errors that scored the final two runs of a four-run fifth inning that sank the Yankees in a 4-1 loss to the Blue Jays at a sold-out Rogers Centre.

The Yankees can’t say they’re interested in trading for the Diamondbacks’ Eugenio Suarez — that would be tampering — but manager Aaron Boone admitted he’s paying attention a scorching-hot right-handed slugger who led the National League with 35 homers and 85 RBIs through Sunday.

One baseball writer thinks that team will be Toronto. On Sunday, Sportsnaut's Matt Johnson predicted that the Blue Jays would acquire Pittsburgh Pirates starter Mitch Keller, a 2023 All-Star and reliable innings-eater, at the trade deadline.
