TORONTO -- Sonny Gray will get at least one more chance to show he deserves to keep his place in New York's rotation, though the Yankees are growing increasingly concerned about the struggling starter.
Justin Smoak hit a three-run homer, Yangervis Solarte reached base four times and the Toronto Blue Jays beat Gray and the Yankees 6-2 on Friday night.
Smoak connected in Toronto's five-run second inning, when the Blue Jays batted around and put an early end to Gray's outing.
"I am concerned but we also believe in the stuff," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said of Gray.
