The Yankees scored five unanswered runs thanks to homers from Ryan McMahon and Ben Rice to defeat the Blue Jays, 5-4, at Yankee Stadium last night. It was another nervous ninth inning, but the Yankees prevailed.
With runners at second and third and a Toronto Blue Jays run already home, Camilo Doval got Kaz Okamoto to ground out to Anthony Volpe, sealing Tuesday night’s 5-4 win.
Doval was subbing as closer with both David Bednar and Fernando Cruz unavailable due to heavy workloads.
Ryan McMahon broke a personal 0-for-24 with a game-tying three-run homer off Dylan Cease in the fourth, setting up Ben Rice’s go-ahead, two-run homer in the fifth.
New York (30-19) has now won two games in a row and 2-0 on this current home trip.
