TORONTO -- George Springer had three hits, including a pair of three-run homers, and José Berríos pitched seven strong innings as the Toronto Blue Jays beat the slumping New York Yankees 9-2 on Thursday night.
The loss was New York's season-worst fourth straight and ninth in 11 games, dropping the Yankees out of first place in the AL East. They are percentage points behind Baltimore.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. added a solo home run, his 11th, as Toronto won its second straight game after losing the previous seven.
Berríos (7-6) went 0-3 in three starts against New York last season.
