Blue Jays Beat Yankees 12-5 with Springer's Seven RBIs

George Springer delivered a standout performance for the Toronto Blue Jays against the New York Yankees on Canada Day, driving in seven runs with a grand slam, a solo home run, and a two-run single to lead Toronto to a 12-5 victory. The Blue Jays have won three consecutive games, closing the gap to within one game of the American League East-leading Yankees. Andres Gimenez also contributed a three-run homer, while Ernie Clement redeemed himself with a key RBI single after earlier errors in the seventh inning. Toronto's Kevin Gausman and reliever Braydon Fisher combined to limit the Yankees' offense, while Max Fried struggled after a strong start. Despite the win, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., expected to be the franchise cornerstone, showed visible frustration, breaking his bat during the game, highlighting ongoing pressure and struggles amid the team's fluctuating fortunes. Toronto's lineup adjustments included promoting shortstop Leo Jimenez due to Bo Bichette's knee issues.
