TORONTO — – Paul Goldschmidt<\/a> hit a tiebreaking home run in the ninth inning and the New York Yankees<\/a> beat the Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> 3-1 on Saturday.<\/p>\n

After Cody Bellinger<\/a> singled to open the ninth against Blue Jays closer Louis Varland<\/a>, Goldschmidt followed with a 400-foot drive to left, his ninth home run.<\/p>\n

Varland (3-2) had allowed just two earned runs this season before Saturday and hadn’t given up a home run in 36 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n

Fernando Cruz<\/a> (4-1) got out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth and David Bednar<\/a> struck out the side in the ninth for his 14th save in 16 chances as New York won for the fifth time in six games.<\/p>\n

Yankees right-hander Cam Schlittler<\/a> allowed one run and six hits in seven innings. He walked a season-high four and struck out seven.<\/p>\n

Toronto’s Kevin Gausman<\/a> allowed one hit and one run in seven innings. He walked two and struck out seven.<\/p>\n

Jasson Dom\u00ednguez hit a solo home run in his return to the Yankees’ lineup, the only hit off Gausman.<\/p>\n

New York put runners at the corners with two outs in the eighth, but Tyler Rogers<\/a> got Dom\u00ednguez to ground out.<\/p>\n

Cruz replaced Schlittler and walked the bases loaded, but escaped by getting Charles McAdoo<\/a> to foul out to first.<\/p>\n

Kazuma Okamoto<\/a> opened the scoring with a two-out homer off Schlittler in the third, his 15th of the season and second in two games.<\/p>\n

Added to the roster before the game to replace injured outfielder Trent Grisham<\/a>, Dom\u00ednguez tied it in the fourth with his second homer.<\/p>\n

Toronto’s Vladimir Guerrero Jr<\/a>. was held out of the starting lineup. Manager John Schneider said Guerrero had a sore back.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Yankees RHP Will Warren<\/a> (7-1, 3.28 ERA) is scheduled to start Sunday against Blue Jays LHP Patrick Corbin<\/a> (2-3, 4.55).<\/p>\n
