Higashioka hits 3 of Yanks' 7 HRs in 13-2 romp vs Blue Jays

NEW YORK (AP) Kyle Higashioka was as surprised as anyone.

''It's just kind of crazy how baseball works sometimes,'' the career .169 hitter said. ''One minute, you can't hit the ball to save your life, and then the next game you play and pop three over the fence.''

Higashioka slugged a career-high three home runs, DJ LeMahieu connected twice and resurgent New York hit a season-best seven homers in another Bronx air show, thumping the Toronto Blue Jays 13-2 on Wednesday night.

Luke Voit lofted a three-run drive for his major league-leading 19th homer and Clint Frazier added a solo shot as the Yankees won their seventh straight game following a 5-15 slide.
