The Blue Jays won the opening game 4-1 behind a four-run fifth inning to extend its home winning streak to 11 games and five consecutive over the Yankees. New York is now 2-4 over the last six games, while Toronto has won four straight out the break.

In that rookie campaign, Volpe became the Yankees’ first rookie shortstop to hit a grand slam, joined an elite group of fifteen MLB rookies to post at least 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases and finished eighth in American League Rookie of the Year voting.
