Ben Rice, Ryan McMahon homer to power Yankees past Blue Jays
On Tuesday, Ben Rice and Ryan McMahon homered, lifting the New York Yankees to a 5-4 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on a 90-degree night in the Bronx.
Toronto initially held a 3-0 lead in the fourth inning on RBI singles, but the Yankees erased the deficit following key home runs by Rice and McMahon.
Will Warren earned the win by pitching five innings, while Tim Hill, Jake Bird, and Brent Headrick combined for scoreless relief, improving New York to 11-1 in its last 12 home games.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected after the seventh inning for arguing a call, and Camilo Doval secured his first save of the season after Vladimir Guerrero hit a sacrifice fly.
Blue Jays RHP Trey Yesavage faces Yankees RHP Cam Schlittler in an attractive pitching matchup Wednesday night as the teams continue their series.
