TORONTO — Wednesday’s game between the Blue Jays and Yankees was a parade. A hit parade for New York and a parade from the bullpen to the mound for Toronto.
The Yankees spanked Toronto pitching for 17 hits, including three home runs early off Nick Tepesch, an emergency starter for the Jays with Aaron Sanchez still out with a blister issue and Joe Biagini being stretched out in Triple A Buffalo. Tepesch pitched as well as could be expected but it was the long ball provided by Gary Sanchez, Didi Gregorius and Todd Frazier that paced the Yankees to a 11-5 victory over the Jays.
