Overview

  • The Blue Jays erased a 3-1 deficit with a four-run sixth inning capped by Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s go-ahead two-run single.
  • Guerrero finished 2-for-4 with three RBIs, extending his hot stretch and powering Toronto’s offense in front of a sellout crowd of 40,619.
  • Max Scherzer struck out seven and allowed two runs over five innings in his third start after a three-month thumb injury layoff.
  • The win improved Toronto to 46-38 and moved them within two games of New York for the American League East lead.
  • Yankees center fielder Trent Grisham left with left hamstring tightness, and Blue Jays veteran George Springer was briefly sidelined after a throat impact but was cleared.
