So did Jose Bautista, the right fielder, who appeared to have a beat on the ball, but kept having to back up as the wind took it. … into the right field seats for a two-run home run in the second inning. First up was Aaron Hicks, who tomahawked a high fastball … The wind was blowing out at Yankee Stadium and they lifted four balls up into the jet stream for home runs the next three innings. Thankfully, the Yankees hammered away at Latos after that. And after all the RISPFAIL the last two days, it seemed ominous. Didi hit a weak tapper to the pitcher and Headley wandered too far from third, then Holliday wandered too far from second, then Headley made an ill-advised break home and was thrown out. There was some funky baserunning involved. That first inning rally was stopped at one because Didi Gregorius managed to hit a double play grounder with runners on second and third. The Yankees started the game with a double (Brett Gardner), an infield single (Chase Headley), and a double (Matt Holliday) to take a quick 1-0 lead.

It was clear from the get-go Latos didn’t have much working. The Yankees did not have a scoreless inning offensively until the fifth Tuesday night, which, not coincidentally, was the first inning the Blue Jays had someone other than Mat Latos on the mound. The Yankees rebounded from their first set of back-to-back losses since the first week of the season by hammering the Blue Jays on Tuesday night.
