The Toronto Blue Jays wasted an eight-run lead, then outlasted the Yankees 11-9 Wednesday night as George Springer scored the go-ahead run on Devin Williams' eighth-inning wild pitch to tie New York for the AL East lead.
Toronto scored seven runs in the first inning off Will Warren and led 8-0 in the third, but the Yankees rallied with six runs in a sixth that included Giancarlo Stanton's first home run of the season, a three-run drive. New York tied the score 9-9 in the eighth when Aaron Judge hit a two-run homer off Yimi García (1-2), Judge's 31st home run this season.
