TORONTO — Brett Gardner hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the 10th inning Sunday and the New York Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays 2-1 for their fourth win in five games.
Tyler Clippard (4-3) hit Greg Bird of New York to begin the 10th and Tyler Wade came on to pinch run. Austin Romine sacrificed Wade to second and Gardner followed with a single to left.
Chad Green (5-1) pitched one inning for the win and David Robertson finished for his second save in six opportunities. Regular closer Aroldis Chapman, who left Saturday’s game because of a sore left knee, was available but didn’t pitch.
New York struck quickly against Blue Jays rookie left-hander Ryan Borucki. Aaron Judge hit a one-out single in the first and moved to third on Giancarlo Stanton’s double before scoring on Miguel Andujar’s grounder.
Toronto catcher Russell Martin made an acrobatic play to end the first, almost mishandling a foul popup by Didi Gregorius but cradling the ball between his glove and chest protector as he fell backward onto the turf.
