The top of the first inning looked like an extension of the Rays series, but the Yankees’ offense came alive and did more than enough to win before the rain finished this one after seven innings.

Showing some fight

After half an inning, the Bombers found themselves down four runs and staring a three-game losing streak in the face. However, Marcus Stroman and the Blue Jays let the Yanks right back into this one.

With two outs in the first, Aaron Hicks drew a walk before Didi Gregorius lined one towards the left-center field gap.
