Blue Jays rally for 8 runs in 8th inning, beat Yankees 12-6
NEW YORK — Something in the rain must have stirred those Toronto hitters.
Or maybe it was just Michael Pineda’s early exit.
Russell Martin homered twice, including a go-ahead shot in an eight-run eighth inning, and Troy Tulowitzki had a season-high four hits as the Blue Jays erased a six-run deficit following a 42-minute rain delay Tuesday night in their 12-6 victory over the New York Yankees.
“The rain helped us, I know that,” manager John Gibbons said. “Got old Pineda out of there. … We just came to life.”
