New York Yankees extend winning streak to five games
The New York Yankees extended their winning streak to five games following a 3-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. Rookie Spencer Jones contributed a two-run home run in the second inning, marking his seventh of the season and his second consecutive game with a home run.
Starting pitcher Cam Schlittler earned his first victory since late July, pitching six innings and allowing only one run on six hits. The Yankees' lineup saw several changes ahead of their upcoming series against the Boston Red Sox, including a decision to give Jones a day off from the starting lineup.
Additionally, the Yankees continue to manage the absence of Ryan McMahon, who has been sidelined by injury since August 19. Manager Aaron Boone indicated that McMahon may participate in two minor league rehab games before rosters expand on September 1.
