George Springer powered the Toronto Blue Jays past the New York Yankees with two pivotal two-run homers, securing an 8-5 victory and completing a four-game sweep. This victory propelled Toronto into first place in the American League East, shifting the standings dramatically from being eight games behind on May 28. Besides Springer's contributions, Nathan Lukes' crucial 14-pitch at-bat resulted in a two-run double, while Addison Barger added a solo homer. Chris Bassitt's strong pitching performance, striking out nine in 5.2 innings, complemented by a late-game save from Jeff Hoffman, capped a significant day for the Blue Jays.
