Old School Baseball Carries Blue Jays Past Yankees and to the Top of the AL East
TORONTO, CANADA, JUL 24 – Toronto Blue Jays capitalized on four New York Yankees errors and aggressive baserunning to extend their AL East lead to four games, now tied for the best American League record.
- The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the New York Yankees 8-4 on Wednesday at Rogers Centre, taking the series and a four-game division lead.

- Toronto's win secured the season series and tiebreaker over the Yankees and tied them with the Houston Astros for the American League's best record.
