Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a two-out RBI single in the 10th inning, giving the Toronto Blue Jays a 3-2 win over the visiting New York Yankees on Monday.
The hit off Clarke Schmidt (5-5) scored automatic runner Cavan Biggio from second base after right fielder Aaron Judge had prolonged the inning with a catch at the right field wall.
Judge went 1-for-3 with two walks as he stayed at 60 homers, one shy of the American League record set by New York's Roger Maris in 1961. Isiah Kiner-Falefa belted a solo home run for the Yankees.
The Blue Jays opted to intentionally walk Judge with two outs and runners on first and second in the top of the 10th. Toronto interim manager John Schneider brought in left-hander Tim Mayza (8-0), who sent Judge to first base before getting left-handed-hitting Anthony Rizzo to hit an inning-ending groundout.
