Davis Schneider Hits Second Homer in Blue Jays' 8-3 Loss

davis schneider gave Toronto a brief lift Sunday, tying the game at three with a solo homer to center field in the bottom of the sixth. The Blue Jays still lost 8-3 to the Yankees after New York scored five runs in the ninth.

Schneider's second homer

The homer was Schneider's second of the season and his first since March 30, when he went deep in his second game of the year. He finished 2-for-3 with a walk, one of the few steady nights for Toronto at the plate.

Toronto's late slide

The Blue Jays had the game level after Schneider's blast, but the ninth inning changed everything. New York pulled away with five runs, turning a tie game into an 8-3 loss.

Season line for Schneider

Sunday's homer fit into a season line that has been difficult to build on. Schneider entered with a.145/.309/.263 slash line, two homers, 14 runs, nine RBI and one stolen base in 95 trips to the plate.

For Toronto, the result left Schneider's lone extra-base spark buried in a loss. For him, it was at least a second homer and a reset from a drought that stretched back to March 30.
