**Blue Jays Soar to Franchise-Record 11th Straight Home Win, Defeat Yankees 4-1**
TORONTO – The Toronto Blue Jays continued their dominant home stand Monday night, defeating the New York Yankees 4-1 and securing their 11th consecutive win at Rogers Centre, a new franchise record. The victory surpasses their previous record of 10 straight home wins, set at Exhibition Stadium in 1985.
Bo Bichette delivered the decisive blow with a two-run double in the fifth inning, driving in George Springer and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and sparking a four-run rally. A pair of errors by Yankees infielders Oswald Peraza and Anthony Volpe also contributed to the Blue Jays’ scoring in the inning.
Kevin Gausman (7-7) delivered a stellar performance on the mound for Toronto, pitching seven strong innings and allowing just one run on four hits while striking out eight. Giancarlo Stanton’s solo home run in the fourth inning was the only blemish on Gausman’s outing.
The Yankees’ Carlos Rodon (10-7) took the loss, allowing four runs (two earned) on six hits in five innings. The Blue Jays bullpen, featuring Brendon Little, Yariel Rodríguez, and Jeff Hoffman, shut down the Yankees offense in the later innings. Hoffman earned his 24th save of the season.
The Blue Jays will look to continue their winning streak on Tuesday as Max Scherzer (1-0, 4.70 ERA) is scheduled to start against the Yankees’ Cam Schlittler (1-0, 5.06).
