Key takeaways: Blue Jays 2, Yankees 0

The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the New York Yankees 2-0 on Thursday night, earning a series split. Spencer Miles was the standout performer, delivering 4 1/3 innings of shutout ball with six strikeouts in a bullpen game that also featured contributions from Braydon Fisher and Adam Macko. The Rule 5 pick Miles has become a key stabilizer for a Blue Jays pitching staff depleted by injuries to José Berrios, Cody Ponce, and ongoing rehabs for Max Scherzer and Shane Bieber.
