TORONTO — In a weekend of winnable games, the Blue Jays came up empty. Entering the ninth inning tied with the New York Yankees on both Saturday and Sunday, the Jays (34-38) dropped both games on crushing homers in the final inning.They failed to capitalize on too many chances, a well-used bullpen let games slip away, and a few key infielders suffered injuries. Here are takeaways from Toronto’s series loss to the Yankees:Jays need to cash in more baserunnersA lot goes into a team’s success — starting pitching, relief, lineup construction, health, luck and so on. But, on offence, so much is tied to hitting with runners in scoring position. If you come up clutch, you’re probably winning a lot of games. So far this season, Toronto hasn’t taken advantage of those opportunities.The Yankees, Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers owned the four best records in baseball entering play Sunday. Those four teams also lead the sport in wRC+ with runners in scoring position this year. Clutch hits lead to wins.The Jays’ average with runners in scoring position this year, .235, ranked 26th entering Sunday. Their wRC+, 81, was the worst in baseball.It’s no coincidence that Toronto’s one win in this series came in a game when they went 4-for-7 with runners on second or third. In the two weekend defeats, they went 3-for-18.RISP success can flip out of nowhere. Luck on batted balls and the sequencing of hits can be a major factor in clutch hitting. Last season, the Jays struggled early in big moments before becoming dominant in the clutch during 2025’s second half. But for a 2026 lineup that doesn’t have much home run power, the Jays desperately need to be better with runners in scoring position.
