It was 7-0 by the fourth inning and the air of anticipation surrounding the series lost some of its punch. “I was just inconsistent,” Estrada acknowledged after giving up four runs in the first inning for the first time in his career. The young Yankees jumped on Estrada’s signature pitch, particularly second-year catcher Gary Sanchez who had loud home runs in each of his first two at bats. Estrada’s night was done much earlier than anticipated as manager John Gibbons brought out the hook before the fourth inning was done, an atypical effort from the veteran Jays starter. FEEBLE FIRSTSEstrada has been a key part of the Jays success this season, despite the occasional wobble in the first inning.
