The New York Yankees relinquished their hold on first place in the American League East after a dramatic 11-9 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. Toronto surged ahead with a seven-run first inning, aided by Alejandro Kirk and Addison Barger, who combined for a two-run single and a three-run homer respectively. Despite trailing 8-0, the Yankees fought back, thanks to Aaron Judge's 31st homer and Giancarlo Stanton's three-run blast, pulling within striking distance. However, the Blue Jays regained control, with George Springer scoring the decisive run.

Yankees starter Will Warren struggled, allowing a career-worst eight runs, while Toronto's Jose Berrios was chased after giving up six runs in the fifth. The game showcased both teams' offensive prowess, but ultimately, the Blue Jays capitalized on early runs to secure the win, placing the Yankees at risk of a sweep in the upcoming finale.
