Blue Jays End Yanks’ Winning Streak, Tighten Race

TORONTO (AP) — Bo Bichette homered twice, including a tiebreaking home run off Clay Holmes in the eighth inning that lifted the Toronto Blue Jays over the Yankees 6-5 Wednesday night, tightened the AL wild card race and ended New York’s seven-game winning streak.

Boston closed within one game of the wild card-leading Yankees after winning 6-0 at Baltimore, and Toronto is one game back of the Red Sox. Seattle, which began the day 2 1/2 games behind the Yankees, hosted Oakland in a late game.
