Overview

  • George Springer drove in seven runs with a solo homer in the fourth and a grand slam in the seventh to fuel Toronto’s 12-5 victory.
  • Andrés Giménez’s three-run homer off Max Fried in the fourth inning gave the Blue Jays an early advantage they never relinquished.
  • Yankees starter Max Fried allowed four earned runs over six innings and the New York bullpen surrendered additional runs in the late frames.
  • The back-to-back wins lift Toronto to within one game of New York atop the AL East and give the Blue Jays a 2-0 lead in the four-game series.
  • Both teams will assess injuries ahead of Wednesday’s matchup, including Trent Grisham’s left hamstring tightness and George Springer’s earlier collision scare.
