NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 George Springer<\/a> homered, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.<\/a> reached base three times and the Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> beat the New York Yankees<\/a> 2-0 on Thursday night to split a four-game series.<\/p>\n

Springer hit his second homer of the series and gave the Blue Jays a 2-0 lead in the seventh inning by sending a 2-2 slider from Camilo Doval<\/a> into the left-field seats.<\/p>\n

Toronto went with a bullpen game \u2014 highlighted by a career-best 4 1\/3 innings from Spencer Miles<\/a> \u2014 and held the Yankees to three hits, the fifth time New York finished with three or fewer. Aaron Judge<\/a> went 0 for 4, was 1 for 15 in the series and has not homered or driven in a run in 10 games since May 10 at Milwaukee.<\/p>\n

Judge\u2019s streak without an RBI matches the worst of his career, done three times previously.<\/p>\n

The Yankees lost for the ninth time in 13 games heading into Gerrit Cole<\/a>\u2019s return from reconstructive elbow surgery in the opener of a three-game series against Tampa Bay. New York dropped 4 1\/2 games behind the Rays in the AL East.<\/p>\n

Guerrero walked in his first two plate appearances and singled in the fifth. He stole second in the first and scored on Daulton Varsho<\/a>\u2019s 66.5 mph double off Carlos Rod\u00f3n (0-2) that caromed off the third base bag.<\/p>\n

Braydon Fisher<\/a> and rookie Adam Macko<\/a> (1-1) pitched 1 1\/3 innings apiece ahead of Miles, a Rule 5 draft pick who allowed two hits, struck out six and walked one while throwing a career-high 63 pitches.<\/p>\n

Tyler Rogers<\/a> ended the eighth by getting Judge on a double-play grounder. Jeff Hoffman<\/a> pitched a perfect ninth for his fourth save and first since April 20.<\/p>\n

Rod\u00f3n allowed one run and three hits in five innings.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Blue Jays: RHP Kevin Gausman<\/a> (3-3, 3.45 ERA) opposes Pittsburgh RHP Bubba Chandler<\/a> (1-5, 5.14) on Friday in Toronto.<\/p>\n

Yankees: Cole makes his first start since Game 5 of the 2024 World Series Friday night. RHP Nick Martinez<\/a> (4-1, 1.51) pitches for the Rays.<\/p>\n
