Blue Jays Sweep Yankees, Springer Shines After Injury

The Toronto Blue Jays swept the New York Yankees in a four-game series, moving into sole possession of first place in the AL East. George Springer played a pivotal role, hitting multiple home runs—including his ninth grand slam and 100th with the Blue Jays—and achieving a career-high seven RBIs during the series. Springer experienced a scare after a collision at third base earlier in the series but is reported to be okay. The Yankees struggled offensively and suffered injuries, with pitcher Clarke Schmidt leaving due to forearm tightness. Toronto's momentum continues to build as they surge in the standings, while the Yankees face increasing pressure after falling to 10-16 against AL East opponents. The Blue Jays are hopeful Springer's injury will not impact their campaign.
