TORONTO (AP) — Bo Bichette homered twice, including a tiebreaking drive off Clay Holmes in the eighth inning that lifted the Toronto Blue Jays over the Yankees 6-5, tightened the AL wild-card race and ended New York’s seven-game winning streak. Marcus Semien hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the first off Gerrit Cole, setting a big league record for second basemen with his 44th home run of the season. George Springer doubled on Cole’s first pitch and Semien homered on Cole’s sixth. Springer hit an RBI single in the second and Bichette’s solo homer in the third built a 4-0 lead.
