Bo Bichette hit a go-ahead, two-run double in a four-run fifth, Kevin Gausman worked seven strong innings and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 4-1 on Monday night, extending their home winning streak to a franchise-record 11 games.
Toronto won 10 straight at its former home, Exhibition Stadium, from July 21-Aug. 3, 1985.
Yankees third baseman Oswald Peraza and shortstop Anthony Volpe both made throwing errors that led to runs in the fifth.
Volpe has 12 errors this season. San Francisco shortstop Willy Adames entered play Monday with a major league-leading 13.
Giancarlo Stanton led off the fourth with his fifth homer, but that was all the Yankees got against Gausman (7-7). The right-hander allowed four hits, struck out eight and walked two, winning for the first time since June 26 at Cleveland.
New York’s Carlos Rodon (10-7) allowed four runs (two earned) and six hits in five innings.
Blue Jays RHP Max Scherzer (1-0, 4.70 ERA) is scheduled to start Tuesday against Yankees RHP Cam Schlittler (1-0, 5.06).
