The Yankees took an early 1-0 lead in the first thanks to an Aaron Judge opposite-field shot. It was Judge’s 23rd blast of the season and tenth in his last 21 games, dating back to August 23. Only Eugenio Suarez (13) has more home runs than Judge across the majors during that span.
Toronto took a 2-1 lead in the second. Former Yankee Billy McKinney tied the game with an RBI single. Richard Urena’s RBI double gave Toronto the edge. Both runs came against lefty Jordan Montgomery, who made his season debut out of the bullpen after missing more than a year following Tommy John surgery.
