George Springer homers and Blue Jays hold Yankees to 3 hits, winning 2-0 for
4-game split
By LARRY FLEISHER
Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) --- George Springer homered, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. reached base
three times and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 2-0 on Thursday
night to split a four-game series.
Springer hit his second homer of the series and gave the Blue Jays a 2-0 lead
in the seventh inning by sending a 2-2 slider from Camilo Doval into the
left-field seats.
Toronto went with a bullpen game --- highlighted by a career-best 4 1/3 innings
from Spencer Miles --- and held the Yankees to three hits, the fifth time New
York finished with three or fewer. Aaron Judge went 0 for 4, was 1 for 15 in
the series and has not homered or driven in a run in 10 games since May 10 at
Milwaukee.
Judge's streak without an RBI matches the worst of his career, done three times
previously.
The Yankees lost for the ninth time in 13 games heading into Gerrit Cole's
return from reconstructive elbow surgery in the opener of a three-game series
against Tampa Bay. New York dropped 4 1/2 games behind the Rays in the AL East.
Guerrero walked in his first two plate appearances and singled in the fifth. He
stole second in the first and scored on Daulton Varsho's 66.5 mph double off
Carlos Rodn (0-2) that caromed off the third base bag.
Braydon Fisher and rookie Adam Macko (1-1) pitched 1 1/3 innings apiece ahead
of Miles, a Rule 5 draft pick who allowed two hits, struck out six and walked
one while throwing a career-high 63 pitches.
Tyler Rogers ended the eighth by getting Judge on a double-play grounder. Jeff
Hoffman pitched a perfect ninth for his fourth save and first since April 20.
Rodn allowed one run and three hits in five innings.
