Blue Jays 5 Yankees 3
#1
TORONTO (AP) — Yangervis Solarte hit a tiebreaking homer in the eighth inning of Toronto's first win of the season, and Kevin Pillar added an insurance run by stealing second, third and home.

The Blue Jays bounced back from two straight losses. Tyler Austin homered twice for the Yankees.

Solarte began the eighth with a deep drive to center off Dellin Betances (0-1) for a 4-3 lead.

Pillar hit a one-out single and swiped his way to third. The speedy outfielder then broke for the plate with Gift Ngoepe at bat, and Betances threw wildly to the backstop. It was Toronto's first straight steal of home since Aaron Hill did it against New York on May 29, 2007.

Ryan Tepera (1-0) pitched one inning for the win and Roberto Osuna finished for his first save.
