Springer, Jays Slam Yankees to Close Gap in AL East
- George Springer contributed seven RBIs, including a solo home run, a grand slam, and a two-run single, leading the Toronto team to a 12-5 victory over the New York Yankees on Canada Day at Rogers Centre.
- Toronto's strong showing, improving to a 47-38 record, has brought them just a single game behind the AL East-leading New York Yankees, thanks in part to standout performances from Springer and manager Schneider’s lineup changes that emphasized consistent production over homerun totals.
- Springer's grand slam off reliever Luke Weaver in the seventh inning was one of multiple key offensive contributions including Andres Gimenez's three-run homer that gave Toronto a 4-2 lead after overcoming a 2-0 deficit.
- The game, held during Canada's 158th birthday, attracted 41,129 fans, with Springer commenting, “We got to go hang on to the flag.” Toronto’s Braydon Fisher earned the victory to improve to 2-0, while Mark Leiter Jr. was charged with the loss, bringing his record to 4-6 for New York.
- The victory marked Toronto’s third straight win and bolstered their playoff hopes as they get ready for the third game in the four-game series, where their pitcher Jose Berrios is scheduled to take on New York’s right-handed pitcher Will Warren .
