NEW YORK -- Mother Nature was on the Yankees' side for once.
Rain that started early held off until the Yankees reclaimed the lead and forced the end of the game after seven innings and one out.
The final: Yankees 7, Blue Jays 5.
The rain came after Lance Lynn suffered his worst outing so far with the Yankees, who traded for him before the deadline, lasting just four innings and giving up five earned runs.
A middle-innings rally, with Giancarlo Stanton's 31st home run of the season as the cherry on top, put them on top.
