The Story
The Toronto Blue Jays shut out the New York Yankees 2-0 at Yankee Stadium on May 21, 2026, overcoming a pre-game environment in which the DiamondIQ model's estimate gave New York a 66 percent chance of winning. Toronto scored the only run it would need in the first inning and added an insurance run in the seventh, holding the Yankees to three hits across nine innings while committing no errors.
The decisive sequence came in the top of the seventh, when George Springer connected on a home run off Camilo Doval that shifted win probability by plus-14.5 percent in Toronto's favor, effectively doubling the Blue Jays' lead and tightening the Yankees' path to a comeback. New York's best threats dissolved in the eighth and ninth innings. Aaron Judge grounded into a double play off Tyler Rogers in the bottom of the eighth, a swing of minus-14.4 percent in win probability for the Yankees, erasing what had briefly felt like a window after J.C. Escarra drew a walk to extend the inning. Paul Goldschmidt then struck out to end the ninth against Jeff Hoffman, a plus-14.4 percent swing that closed the door entirely and brought the DiamondIQ model's estimate of a New York win to zero percent.
Ernie Clement led all position players with a plus-17.8 percent WPA contribution and a RE24 of plus-1.1, anchoring Toronto's offensive production alongside Springer's plus-12.7 percent WPA effort. On the mound, starter Spencer Miles was the dominant force, generating plus-30.8 percent WPA across his outing, with Tyler Rogers adding plus-13.3 percent and Brent Headrick contributing plus-13.2 percent in support to complete the shutout.
