Guerrero lifts Jays to victory

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. delivers a go-ahead, two-run triple in the Blue Jays’ win Saturday.

TORONTO — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a go-ahead, two-run triple in the seventh inning and the Blue Jays rallied for a 5-4 victory Saturday, handing the Yankees their second straight loss following a season-high nine game winning streak.

Gary Sanchez returned from injured list and hit a solo home run for the Yankees and Gio Urshela added a two-run drive.

The Blue Jays trailed 4-3 in the seventh when Bo Bichette drew a one-out walk from Adam Ottavino, Cavan Biggio singled and Guerrero Jr. grounded the ball down the first-base line and into foul territory. Right fielder Aaron Judge initially mishandled the ball against a side wall, and Guerrero slid in safely for the first triple of his career.

The Yankees had gone ahead on DJ LeMahieu’s sacrifice fly in the top of the inning, but Ottavino (5-4) couldn’t make it stand up. The right-hander allowed a run for the first time in 16 appearances, a streak that dated to July 2 against the Mets.

Jason Adam (1-0) worked 11⁄3 innings for his first major league win and Derek Law got four outs for his third save in three opportunities.

Teoscar Hernandez hit a three-run home run for the Blue Jays, who have gone deep in 15 consecutive games. It’s the team’s longest such streak since a 19-game run in 2010.

Blue Jays batters have hit 99 home runs since June 16. Only the Yankees (100) have hit more in that span.

The Yankees have hit multiple home runs in nine straight games, extending their season-best streak.

■ GM Brian Cashman told the New York Post that he was stopped in Connecticut and forced from his vehicle at gunpoint by as many as nine police officers as he was leaving a gas station Friday. Cashman, 52, said his white Jeep Wrangler had been stolen and returned to him but that the New York City police hadn’t cleared the vehicle from its stolen-car database. Cashman was complimentary of the Connecticut officers and said he wasn’t completely surprised by the circumstances thanks to a call he got from the Westchester County police in New York about his stolen car. The Darien (Conn.) Police Department confirmed in a statement Saturday that they had stopped Cashman based on the belief that the Jeep was stolen.
