Roles Reversed As New York Tops Toronto

Monday night it was Toronto who was hitting the long ball as they hit three home runs to top New York 7-1. 

Tuesday night though the role was reversed as New York hit five home runs as they beat Toronto 11-5. 

 Aaron Judge started his afternoon with a long batting practice drive that destroyed a flatscreen television, then went deep twice in game action to claim the Major League home run lead as the Yankees flexed their muscles in an 11-5 victory over the Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium.

Brett Gardner homered twice off Mat Latos and Aaron Hicks added a two-run blast as the Yanks matched their season high with five homers, pounding out a season-high 16 hits to help Masahiro Tanaka win his fourth straight start and snap Toronto's three-game winning streak.

New York and Toronto close out their three-game set Wednesday at Yankee Stadium with New York left -hander CC Sabathia making the start. He has a record of 2-1 with an earn run average of 4.34 to go along with twenty strikeouts. He is coming off a loss to Baltimore where they hammered him for seven runs while he pitched 5/2/3 innings on April 28. In his last two starts, he has a record of 0-1 with a 9.28 earn run average. He will go up against Toronto right-hander Marcus Stroman who has allowed just two runs or less in his five starts this season but has little run support to show for it.
