Francisco Liriano throws six shutout innings in Jays win over Yankees
TORONTO — On a night when the Blue Jays needed a win in order to keep their ground, Francisco Liriano delivered on the mound and the Toronto bats backed him up.
The veteran left-hander threw six shutout innings and Troy Tulowitzki drove in four runs as Toronto blanked the New York Yankees 9-0 Friday.
“I felt Liriano was really, really good,” said Toronto manager John Gibbons. “We just did some really good things offensively … Really a well-played game.”
Josh Donaldson, with his 36th home run of the season, and Jose Bautista drove in two runs apiece.
