Goldschmidt Hits Tiebreaking HR in Ninth, Yankees Beat Blue Jays 3-1 for Fifth Win in Last 6 Games
On Saturday, Paul Goldschmidt hit a tiebreaking home run in the ninth inning, lifting the New York Yankees to a 3-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.
Kazuma Okamoto opened the scoring with his 15th home run of the season, before Jasson Dominguez tied the game in the fourth with a solo homer after being recalled to replace injured outfielder Trent Grisham.
Yankees starter Cam Schlittler allowed one run and six hits over seven innings, matching Toronto pitcher Kevin Gausman, who retired his final 10 batters with seven strikeouts.
Fernando Cruz earned the win after escaping a bases-loaded jam in the eighth, while David Bednar struck out the side in the ninth for his 14th save in 16 chances.
Yankees RHP Will Warren, holding a 7-1 record with a 3.28 ERA, is scheduled to start Sunday against Blue Jays LHP Patrick Corbin, who carries a 4.55 ERA.
