The Yanks went ahead in the eighth with a pair of runs off Dominic Leone, and they batted around in the ninth, adding four more runs (two earned) off Blue Jays righty Lucas Harrell.
Yankees starter Luis Cessa, staked to a quick 1-0 lead, retired the first two batters he faced in the bottom of the first. Then the next five Blue Jays batters reached, resulting in three runs crossing the plate. Troy Tulowitzki singled, Kendrys Morales doubled and Jarrod Saltalamacchia drove them both in with a base hit up the middle.
