The Toronto Blue Jays started their 3-game series against the New York Yankees with a notable 3-0 victory, marking the first time the Yankees were shut out in their home opener since April 14, 1967. Yusei Kikuchi starred for the Blue Jays, pitching 5.1 scoreless innings with 7 strikeouts. The game's deadlock was broken in the seventh when Ernie Clement, pinch-hitting for Cavan Biggio against lefty Caleb Ferguson, hit his first career pinch-hit homer on the second pitch, sending it over the wall in LF. This homer was highlighted as one of the season's significant moments for the Blue Jays. The win, backed by strong pitching and former Yankee Chad Green closing out the game, was a disappointment for the Yankees, especially with Juan Soto's debut in pinstripes.

The most glaring element missing from the Blue Jays' offence at the moment is the instant impact only slug can bring. On Friday in a win over the Yankees, Ernie Clement added supporting evidence for the difference one key swing can make. (@ShiDavidi) https://t.co/ejOjVQBcTW

The Yanks playing little league ball in the 9th helped the Jays today. But some great pitching backed the 3-0 win to spoil NY’s home opener. Ex-Yank Chad Green closing out the game was a nice touch.
