Kevin Gausman won for the first time in a month, Nathan Lukes hit a two-run single in a three-run first inning against rookie Cam Schlittler, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Yankees 7-1 on Friday night to reopen a four-game AL East lead over New York.
Two-time AL MVP Aaron Judge returned to right field for the first time since hurting his right elbow in late July and did not attempt to throw at full strength.
Toronto beat the Yankees for the eighth time in 11 meetings this year and dropped New York to 17-23 against the AL East.
