Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a tiebreaking two-run homer with two outs in the seventh inning and David Bednar retired Vladimir Guerrero Jr. with two on in the ninth to secure the save as the host New York Yankees rallied and hung on for a 7-6 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.
Chisholm Jr. produced his fourth straight multi-hit game and snapped a 5-5 tie by poking a 2-1 splitter from Yariel Rodriguez off the middle of the left field foul pole.
Chisholm Jr.'s 339-foot opposite field drive occurred after Cody Bellinger hit a tying two-run homer off the top of the right-center field fence that landed into the Yankees' bullpen two batters earlier.
The homers by Chisholm Jr. and Bellinger helped the Yankees win for the third time in 10 games on a night when they faced a pair of two-run deficits.
The four-run seventh preceded a wobbly ninth by Bednar, who allowed a tying three-run homer to Tyrone Taylor in Sunday's loss to the Mets. Bednar allowed an RBI double to Jesus Sanchez but struck out George Springer after falling behind 3-0 and got Guerrero to ground out on a full count for his 11th save in 13 chances.
Paul Goldschmidt hit a leadoff home run and added a tying double in the fourth. J.C. Escarra lifted a sacrifice fly while Aaron Judge singled ahead of Bellinger's homer.
Ernie Clement and Springer homered off New York's Ryan Weathers for the Blue Jays, who lost for the ninth time in 14 games and were unable to win three straight for the third time this season.
Clement gave the Blue Jays a 3-1 lead when he reached for Weathers' 0-2 breaking ball that hovered over the plate in the fourth. Springer snapped a 3-3 tie in the fourth by lifting a 2-1 fastball into the visiting bullpen in left field.
Weathers allowed five runs on seven hits in 5 1/3 innings. The left-hander struck out seven, walked none and was one strike away from getting out of the fourth before Clement connected
Paul Blackburn (2-1) followed with 1 2/3 innings, Fernando Cruz struck out Daulton Varsho with a runner on before Bednar's escape act.
Toronto's Patrick Corbin allowed three runs on six hits in four innings.
