DUNEDIN, Fla. – Toronto left-hander J.A. Happ pitched four solid innings in the Blue Jays’ 3-1 exhibition loss to the New York Yankees on Wednesday.

Austin Romine and Brett Gardner hit RBI singles off Mike Bolsinger in the fifth inning to give New York (23-8) the win. Aaron Judge opened the scoring for the Yankees with an RBI single in the second.
Gregorio Petit provided all of Toronto’s offence with a run-scoring single in the fourth.
The Blue Jays (11-18) are off Thursday before kicking off a two-game exhibition series against Pittsburgh at Montreal’s Olympic Stadium on Friday.
