McAdoo’s clutch 7th-inning double helps lift Blue Jays past Yankees 4-1

TORONTO (AP) — Charles McAdoo had two hits, including a tiebreaking RBI double in the seventh inning, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 4-1 on Saturday for their 13th win in 19 games.

McAdoo also had an RBI single and Brett Bateman reached base three times as the Blue Jays inched closer to the final AL wild-card spot.

Spencer Miles (5-2), the fifth of seven Blue Jays pitchers, went one inning for the win and Louis Varland struck out the side in the ninth for his 28th save in 29 opportunities.

The Yankees had four hits, all singles, and lost their third straight game. New York has scored two total runs in those games.

Pinch hitter Ernie Clement singled on the first pitch he saw from Brent Headrick (6-2) to begin the seventh. McAdoo followed with an RBI double off the wall.

McAdoo and Nathan Lukes had RBIs off Tim Hill in Toronto's two-run eighth.

McAdoo started in place of six-time All-Star Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who went on the seven-day IL earlier Saturday because of concussion symptoms. Guerrero left Friday’s 3-1 victory following a collision with Yankees rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr. at third base.

Yankees right-hander Cam Schlittler allowed one run and four hits in 5 1/3 innings, his fourth straight winless start. Schlittler is winless in five career starts against Toronto.

After Blue Jays right-hander Braydon Fisher opened with a scoreless first, left-hander Ricky Tiedemann came on for his major league debut.

Spencer Jones hit a leadoff single, stole second and scored on a one-out hit by George Lombard Jr., but Tiedemann retired the next four batters.

Toronto tied it on Alejandro Kirk’s two-out single in the third.

Blue Jays RHP Dylan Cease (7-5, 2.40 ERA) is scheduled to face Yankees LHP Ryan Weathers (5-7, 3.69) on Sunday.

A teenage boy and four adults were killed Friday in shootings that prompted a wide search for the fleeing gunman, whose body was ultimately found in a wooded area alongside one of his victims, authorities said. A teenage girl survived and was in stable condition, police said.

Chad Hickman, 39, was found dead after a wide search in Missaukee County, police said. Police released the ages and genders of the victims on Saturday but did not specify whether they were related to each other or the suspect.

Officers responded Friday morning to reports of a shooting at a home about 170 miles (270 kilometers) northwest of Detroit, where they found the bodies of a 16-year-old boy, a 45-year-old man and 40-year-old woman, and a 13-year-old girl in critical condition, Michigan State Police said.

Authorities say Hickman fled that scene, leading to a large-scale search. Police found the body of a 53-year-old man at a second home, and then a 29-year-old woman, dead alongside Hickman, in the woods. All the victims died of gunshot wounds, police said.

“This situation is heartbreaking for the community and challenging for the investigators involved,” Lt. Ashley Miller said in a Friday statement. Miller said Saturday the investigation is ongoing.

Hickman was convicted in 2024 of misdemeanor fourth-degree child abuse, according to court records. He was sentenced to one year in jail. In the same case, the court dismissed felony assault and criminal sexual conduct charges.

Tim Penrose, who lives on the street where the 53-year-old was found dead, said Hickman lived in that home. Penrose said he heard shots but didn’t think much of it until police arrived because he lives in a rural area where gunfire is not uncommon. Penrose said Hickman frequently harassed him and his wife, though he didn't provide more details.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Friday that she was monitoring the situation. “My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the Missaukee community,” she said.
