Kevin Gausman tied a season high by pitching eight innings for his first win in nearly a month, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homered as part of a four-hit showing and the Toronto Blue Jays continued their domination of the host New York Yankees with a 7-1 victory on Friday.

The Blue Jays beat the Yankees for the eighth time in 11 meetings this season. Toronto has won seven of the past eight matchups and moved four games ahead of the Yankees in the American League East.

Gausman (9-10) permitted one run, on a Giancarlo Stanton homer, and five hits. Bo Bichette contributed three hits and two RBIs for Toronto, which has won three in a row.

New York starter Cam Schlittler (2-3) lasted a career-low 1 2/3 innings and allowed four runs on five hits. Stanton finished 2-for-4.
