George Springer hit two two-run home runs and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 8-5 on Thursday night to complete a four-game sweep and take sole possession of the AL East lead.

After nine rounds of Wednesday night’s heavyweight fight, the judges have scored the bout 11-9 for… the Toronto Blue Jays. This is what American League East baseball is supposed to look like, haymakers flying back and forth in a game that had absolutely everything.

The Blue Jays defeat the Yankees and now aim for a sweep, Clayton Kershaw makes history, Terry Francona inches toward his own and more from Wednesday's MLB action.
