The game between the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees was postponed because of heavy rain on Saturday.

The postponement was announced about 3 1/2 hours before Saturday's original first pitch and will be made up as part of a straight doubleheader on Sunday at Yankee Stadium.

Max Fried was slated to oppose Toronto's Kevin Gausman on Saturday and will pitch Sunday. The other original pitching matchup for Sunday was Clarke Schmidt against Toronto's Chris Bassitt.

The Blue Jays snapped a five-game losing streak by scoring three runs in the ninth inning off struggling closer Devin Williams in Friday's 4-2 victory.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homered and Alejandro Kirk hit a go-ahead two-run double off Williams.

Williams did not retire a batter and blew his first save in five opportunities. The right-hander has an 11.25 ERA in 10 appearances and opponents are 6-for-22 (.285) off his changeup.
