The 1998 New York Yankees seemed to carry their Game 1 loss frustrations into Game 2 against the 1993 Toronto Blue Jays. Chuck Knoblauch bobbled the 1st play of the game, setting the tone for what was to come. David Cone allowed 8 runs on 9 hits in 6 2\/3 innings. Only one of those runs was earned, as the Yankees committed 4 big errors. On top of that, New York pitchers hit 4 batters, walked 7, and allowed 5 stolen bases. All 9 Toronto hitters came to bat in three different innings. While Joe Carter is 0-12 in the series, the Yankees couldn’t consistently get anyone else in the Blue Jays lineup out. The fight wasn’t in the New York offense either. Juan Guzm\u00e1n allowed just 5 hits and struck out 9 in a shutout. Twice, Yankees baserunners were thrown out at the plate, and fittingly, one of those times ended the game. With the 12-0 loss today, New York heads to Toronto needing to win 3 straight to avoid elimination. John Olerud went 3 for 3 with 2 walks and was hit by a pitch once. He leads the Tournament with a .500 average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
