Yankees waste a great start by Chase Whitley, who tossed 7 shutout innings with 90 pitches, and watched the bullpen turn a 1-0 lead into a 3-1 loss in the series opener in Toronto. Chris Martin and Dellin Betances surrender four hits to the Jays in the bottom of the eighth to lose the game.
Yanks offense was shutdown by R.A. Dickey, who allowed only three base hits over 8 innings of work to pick up his first victory of the season.
Reported Yankee leader ARod goes 0-4.
Game 2 of the series tonight as Michael Pineda (3-0, 3.73) faces off against Jays starter Marco Estrada (1-0, 0.84), who is making his first start of the season.
