George Springer Homers Twice, Blue Jays Sweep Yankees to Take AL East Lead

  • On Thursday, July 3, 2025, the Toronto Blue Jays completed a four-game sweep of the New York Yankees with an 8-5 victory at Rogers Centre.
  • The Blue Jays climbed to first place in the AL East after trailing the Yankees by eight games on May 28, aided by Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt leaving after three innings due to right forearm tightness.
  • George Springer launched two two-run home runs—his 14th and 15th of the year—and Nathan Lukes ended a fourth-inning deadlock with a two-run double after a 14-pitch battle, while Chris Bassitt delivered a strong outing, recording nine strikeouts over 5⅔ innings.
  • In front of 36,848 fans, Jeff Hoffman secured his 21st save by pitching a nearly flawless ninth inning, as the Blue Jays outpaced New York 36-23 over the four-game series sweep, during which Aaron Judge was intentionally walked three times.
  • The sweep marked the first time in franchise history that the Blue Jays won a four-game home series against the Yankees, moving Toronto into first place in the AL East with a 49-38 record, one game ahead of New York.
