Kirk homers, Bieber in form as Toronto Blue Jays top New York Yankees 3-1
Shane Bieber dominated the New York Yankees on Friday night in Toronto, pitching six solid innings and allowing just one earned run. Alejandro Kirk added extra offense, homering in the bottom of the seventh inning. The Blue Jays' bullpen, led by Louis Varland's crucial 27th save, sealed the 3-1 victory. Trent Grisham and George Springer contributed with solo homers that capitalized on defensive mistakes by the Yankees.
The win marked the Blue Jays' fourth consecutive win in five games against the Yankees. Cole struck out five while allowing only one more run. The Blue Jays' 8-5 hitting advantage over the Yankees highlighted their strong offensive performance.
