Blue Jay bats re-discover baseball in 12-6 win over Yanks

Toronto Blue Jays batters re-discovered the baseball Tuesday night as they defeated the Yankees in new York by a clear margin of 12 to 6. Russell Martin homered twice, including a go-ahead shot in Toronto’s eight-run eighth inning, and Troy Tulowitzki had four hits as the Blue Jays erased a six-run deficit to triumph. Edwin Encarnacion hit a tying homer and drove home three runs in the eighth as Toronto took advantage of an unexpected unravelling of the New York’s pitching staff. The win moves the Jays back into the lead in the AL East, just ahead of Baltimore and Boston.
