NEW YORK — Just like the weather, Gleyber Torres is starting to heat up. The Yankees’ second baseman has hit two big home runs in the last four games. Wednesday, it was a three-run shot and he finished with five RBI to power the Bombers past the Blue Jays, 5-3, at the Stadium.
The Yankees (22-8) swept the two-game series from their American League East rivals and have won six of the nine games they have played this season. Nine of the 11 runs they scored off the Blue Jays (17-15) in the series came off a three-run homer. Giancarlo Stanton had one Tuesday night and Aaron Judge won that game with a walk-off, three-run homer.
Torres had his three-run shot in the fourth. He then doubled in two runs in the sixth inning. It was his second career game with five RBI or more, the last being in his break-out 2019 season. He had six RBI Aug.s 12, 2019 against the Orioles.
