Vladimir Guerrero Jr. put Toronto ahead in the first inning with his 11th home run in the Bronx and Brandon Belt drove in four runs to lead the Blue Jays over the New York Yankees 6-1 Friday night.
Yusei Kikuchi allowed one run and four hits in six innings and has a 1.91 ERA over five starts and one relief appearance at Yankee Stadium. Erik Swanson, Trevor Richards and Yimi Garcia finished a five-hitter.
“Since you are a little kid, you dream of playing at Yankee Stadium,” the 24-year-old son of Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero Jr. said through a translator before the game. “Yankee Stadium is always a stadium you want to go to, you want to perform, you want to hit. That's the mentality all the time when I come here.”
Oswaldo Cabrera hit his first home run of the season, an opposite-field drive to right in the second. The Yankees didn't get another runner past first base.
