TORONTO (AP) — Aaron Judge broke a 4-all tie with a two-run single in the ninth inning, Juan Soto and Giancarlo Stanton hit solo home runs and the New York Yankees rallied to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-4 on Wednesday, avoiding their first sweep of the season.
Daulton Varsho hit two home runs for the Blue Jays, but Toronto’s four-game winning streak was snapped.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider was ejected by plate umpire Ryan Wills for arguing in the bottom of the ninth.
Victor González (1-0) got one out for the win and Clay Holmes finished for his seventh save in eight chances.
Judge was 0 for 12 against Toronto in the series before coming through on a full-count pitch from left-hander Tim Mayza with two outs and the bases loaded.
“Guys in front of me were having great at-bats to kind of lead to that moment and get us in that situation,” Judge said. “Once you step in there, just have some fun and take a good swing.”
