Jays' bats cool off as rally falls short against Yankees

David Robertson went wild and loaded the bases in the eighth inning, and the Yankees weren't all that concerned.

"Whenever it's a tough situation like that, I want D-Rob on the mound," Aaron Judge said.

Or as manager Aaron Boone put it: "He doesn't blink."

Judge hit his fifth home run, Robertson pitched out of a self-inflicted jam and New York overcame some shaky defence on a chilly night to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-3 on Thursday.

Robertson loaded the bases with no outs on consecutive walks but limited Toronto to one run on pinch-hitter Curtis Granderson's RBI single. Robertson struck out two and got a flyout from Luke Maile to hold a one-run lead.

Robertson escapes jam

"He's the one guy that, even if it gets a little sideways for a minute, you always feel like he can bring it right back in," Boone said.

Not that Robertson wasn't feeling some stress.

"I had to do something," he said. "I was going to blow the game."

Toronto was eyeing a big inning for a second straight game. Granderson hit his ninth career grand slam in a 15-5 win over Kansas City on Wednesday.

"That guy Robertson? He's not going to melt," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said.

Judge lofted a solo shot to make it 4-2 in the seventh. He turned on a 3-2 splitter from Tyler Clippard, spoiling the reliever's first outing at Yankee Stadium since New York traded him to the White Sox last July.

CC Sabathia allowed two unearned runs over 4 1/3 innings and 71 pitches in his first start since straining his right hip on April 6. He is 9-0 with a 1.88 ERA in his last 13 regular-season starts following a Yankees loss.

"He gave us what we needed," Boone said.

Chad Green (1-0) retired five straight batters, Dellin Betances pitched a perfect seventh and Robertson delivered a lead to Aroldis Chapman, who struck out the side on 12 pitches for his third save, twice topping 100 mph.

Aaron Sanchez (1-2) held New York to three runs over six innings. He allowed seven hits, one start after no-hitting Baltimore into the eighth inning.

"They dunked a couple of balls in early and scored," Gibbons said. "But for a tough lineup to face, I thought he was pretty good."

Stanton snaps hitless skid

Moved from cleanup to the three-spot and flipping slots with struggling slugger Giancarlo Stanton, Didi Gregorius put New York ahead 3-2 with an RBI single in the fifth. Gregorius entered leading the majors in OPS (1.268) and tied for second in the AL with 16 RBIs.

Stanton followed with an infield single to snap an 0-for-15 skid. He was 1 for 3 with a walk and is 4 for 38 with 20 strikeouts at Yankee Stadium this season.

Neil Walker sparked New York's two-run second inning by snapping an 0-for-16 skid with a double off the right-field wall. He scored on a single by Ronald Torreyes.
