<p>The Toronto Blue Jays are looking to do something they haven&#8217;t yet in 2024: win a series.</p>
<p></p>
<p>They split their season-opening series against the Rays, which in and of itself could be considered a win, while getting crushed in two of three against the Astros.</p>
<p>Friday the Jays took game one against the New York Yankees in quite the fashion. They leaned on the work of Yusei Kikuchi, who hurled five and one-third scoreless innings and had Ernie Clement come off the bench in the top of the seventh to blast a game-winning home run. Insurance runs were added in the ninth, and for the first time since 1967, the Yankees were shut out in their home opener.</p>
<p>Today, they&#8217;ll look to carry that momentum over to game two of this three-game series against the Bronx Bombers. The Jays will send Kevin Gausman to the mound for his second start of the year, after throwing four and a one-third innings against the Rays last week.</p>
