The Yankees manager Aaron Boone did not put Gauntlet down at all. For days, he was frequently asked about his failing team, and more often than not, Boone would portray the same consistency when the team has won every 100 matches in the last two seasons. However, if he did not set foot, he was at least firm.
“No more moral victory,” Boone said.
They didn’t have to settle one Wednesday.

The Yankees had a superb, seven-inning start from 21-year-old rookie goddess Garcia and a 7-2 win over the Blue Jays at the RBI’s four-night Buffalo from shortstop Gleber Torres.
The victory broke a five-game losing streak, but, more importantly, it meant they would return to the Bronx in the back of Toronto, second in the American League East and sixth in the postseason. Picture. It also meant they didn’t leave the Orioles, Tigers and Mariners behind by two games each at the start of the day.
On Thursday, the Yankees will start a four-game game with Baltimore, who beat them in three of the four competitions last week.
They improved to 22-21, leaving them with just 17 games in the regular season. They are also trying to avoid becoming the first Yankee club to finish the following season of .500 since 1992.
Zack is Britain’s scoreless eighth. Aroldis Chapman made his second, ninth save of the season.
Torres began scoring for the Yankees, hitting a lone shot in the second inning and going 438 feet into center field. It was Torres’ first blast since July 26 and it was the second time of his season. Torres had a career-best 38 home runs last year. DJ Lamhiayu tied things up with a home run at 2-all for New York that just slammed into the right field wall in the second frame.
The Yankees opened things up in five. Turner Roark pulled just after 68 pitches on that trip, Ross went inside stripling.
Tyler Wade welcomed him with a Ground Ball Center Two, and then Luke Voyette moved him right to the ground with a sift-shot for a 2-2 lead. After Aaron Hicks walked, Torres doubled from the left, bringing both Voight and Hicks to a 5-2 advantage.
Garcia, the Yankees hope it will happen, is the future star. He scored six runs, no runs and scattered five hits, relying on his fastball ball and trademark curb ball as early as before sneaking into the improved slider. He threw 95 pitches.
Derek Fisher went to him in the second inning, scoring a two-run shot in Central Field to keep the Yankees behind. Garcia doubled Jonathan Davis in the fifth, but worked around it and then it ended 1-2-2 with the seventh inning. After Fisher was kicked out, his last hardening of the night, Garcia – usually Stuick – punched him as he stepped out of the mound.
Gary Sanchez went 0-for-3 with a strikeout, extending his hitless streak to 0-for-11. Torres finished with three hits. Clint Frazier was tagged in the ninth insurance RBI singles, which Torres created a run-scoring groundout for a 7-2 advantage.
