Ben Rice hits two-run single to cap 3-run sixth as Yankees pull away for 8-3 victory over Blue Jays
New York Yankees defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 8-3 on Sunday, thanks to a bases-loaded single by Ben Rice that scored two runs and capped a three-run sixth inning. Rice's hit came after Toronto starter José Soriano (10-7) was knocked out by a series of singles and a walk, leaving the bases loaded. Trent Grisham capitalized on a low slider from Soriano to secure the 3-2 lead, and Ben Rice followed with a slider hit to right field for a 5-2 advantage.
Chisholm added a two-run homer in the seventh, while Grisham hit a solo homer in the eighth, contributing to the Yankees' dominant performance. Rookie Spencer Jones contributed an RBI double in the second, and Austin Wells added another RBI double in the same inning. Spencer Jones threw a complete game, while Carlos Rodón allowed two earned runs over four innings.
