TORONTO, Ont. – The Toronto Blue Jays opened the month of June by completing their first sweep of the season with a shutout win over the New York Yankees.
The 7-0 whitewash wrapped up a very impressive 5-1 homestand and was the Jays’ tenth victory in their last 13 games, pushing the team three games over .500 for the first time this season.
A major-league baseball season is usually played out over six months, from the beginning of April to the end of September, though it’s not always so neat and tidy.
