The Yankees got their up close look at potential trade target Marcus Stroman on Sunday and — more importantly — another victory.
Gio Urshela had a two-run single in the second and scored the go-ahead run in the fifth with the help of a nifty slide, as the Yankees topped the Blue Jays, 4-2, in The Bronx.
The win allowed the Yankees to maintain their six-game lead in the AL East over the Rays, who come to Yankee Stadium for a four-game series beginning on Monday.
After dropping three of their previous four games sandwiched around the All-Star break, the Yankees made three errors, but did enough against Stroman to beat the right-hander, who will almost certainly be traded before the July 31 deadline.
