Blue Jays Dominate Yankees to Extend Division Lead.
Final Score: Blue Jays 7, Yankees 1
There’s nothing sweeter than a Blue Jays win paired with a Yankees loss, and Toronto delivered both in convincing fashion. The Jays jumped out to an early lead, scoring three runs in the first inning and never looked back.
Kevin Gausman was outstanding on the mound, going eight innings while allowing just one run—a solo shot from Aaron Judge—on four hits with one walk and five strikeouts. Braydon Fisher closed out the ninth, finishing the comfortable victory with help from a double play.
Offensively, the Jays spread the damage across the lineup. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. led the charge with four hits, including a home run, while Bo Bichette added three hits and Daulton Varsho contributed two. Together, the heart of the order went 9-for-13 with five runs scored and four RBIs. Nathan Lukes also chipped in with two early RBIs, and Ernie Clement delivered a key run-scoring double in the eighth.
Toronto tallied 11 hits in total, showcasing a balanced attack that overwhelmed New York. With the win, the Jays moved four games ahead of both the Yankees and Red Sox in the AL East standings.
Key Point: The Blue Jays’ 3-4-5 hitters (Guerrero Jr., Bichette, Varsho) combined for nine hits and drove the offense, while Gausman dominated on the mound—showing why Toronto is pulling away in the division race.
Jays of the Day: Gausman, Bichette, Lukes, and Guerrero Jr. all stood out in another statement victory for Toronto.
