Yankees get homers from Rice and McMahon, hold off Blue Jays 5-4 in 90-degree heat

Ben Rice hit a two-run homer that broke a fifth-inning tie and the New York Yankees held off the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 on a 90-degree night in the Bronx. Ryan McMahon pulled New York even with a three-run shot off Dylan Cease following two walks in the fourth. Will Warren went five innings for the win, and the Yankees got excellent relief work from a bullpen that’s been shaky of late. Tim Hill, Jake Bird and Brent Headrick combined to allow just one hit over three scoreless innings. Camilo Doval allowed a sacrifice fly by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the ninth before earning his second save with the Yankees and first this season.
