Bichette has key double as Blue Jays beat Yankees 4-1 and extend home win streak to record 11 games
Toronto won 10 straight at its former home, Exhibition Stadium, from July 21-Aug. 3, 1985.
Alejandro Kirk had two hits as the AL East-leading Blue Jays won for the 17th time in 21 games.
Since a three-game sweep of San Diego in late May, the Blue Jays have won 23 of 27 at home.
Yankees third baseman Oswaldo Peraza and shortstop Anthony Volpe both made throwing errors that led to runs in the fifth.
Volpe has 12 errors this season. San Francisco shortstop Willy Adames entered play Monday with a major league-leading 13.
Giancarlo Stanton led off the fourth with his fifth homer, but that was all the Yankees got against Gausman (7-7). The right-hander allowed four hits, struck out eight and walked two, winning for the first time since June 26 at Cleveland.
Brendon Little got one out in the eighth, leaving with two aboard. Yariel Rodríguez came on and retired Stanton and Jasson Dominguez.
Jeff Hoffman struck out the side in the ninth for his 24th save in 28 chances.
New York's Carlos Rodon (10-7) allowed four runs (two earned) and six hits in five innings.
The Blue Jays intentionally walked Aaron Judge after Trent Grisham's two-out double in the third. Gausman then struck out Jazz Chisholm Jr.
Key moment
George Springer walked to begin the fifth and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. singled before both scored on Bichette's double into the left-field corner.
Key stat
Toronto's Davis Schneider hit nine foul balls in a 14-pitch at-bat against Rodon in the fifth that ended with a popup to Volpe.
Up next
Blue Jays RHP Max Scherzer (1-0, 4.70 ERA) is scheduled to start Tuesday against Yankees RHP Cam Schlittler (1-0, 5.06).

3 seeded Canadians placed in separate quadrants at men's National Bank Open draw
The path for a homegrown tennis player to win the men's Canadian Open title for the first time in the Open Era is set. Felix Auger-Aliassime, Denis Shapovalov and Gabriel Diallo were each placed in separate quadrants as the National Bank Open draw took place at Sobeys Stadium on Friday in Toronto. All three receive byes to the second round as part of the revamped tournament format, which will feature 96 players and take place over 12 days for the first time. The 2025 tournament marks the first time in history that three Canadian men will be seeded. Montreal's Auger-Aliassime holds the highest seed at No. 21, with Shapovalov of Richmond Hill, Ont., 22nd and Montreal's Diallo 27th. Germany's Alexander Zverev is the top seed in the tournament, which begins Sunday and runs through Aug. 7. Canada's Vasek Pospisil, the Vernon, B.C., native who announced he would retire after the tournament, will face a qualifier in his first-round match and potentially meet eighth-seeded Casper Ruud of Norway in the second round.

No Canadian man has ever won the National Bank Open singles title since the Open Era began in 1968. Robert Bedard, who won his third title in 1958, is the last to accomplish the feat. Bianca Andreescu's 2019 championship marked the first for a Canadian woman since Faye Urban in 1969. Gabriela Dabrowski remains the last Canadian to win on home soil, having emerged victorious in women's doubles alongside Brazilian partner Luisa Stefani in women's doubles in 2021.

Time for Blue Jays to load up at trade deadline: 'We've put ourselves in position'
In what has suddenly been a 12-year major league career, George Springer has seen it all at the flashpoint moment that is baseball's trade deadline. Article content He's seen the Houston Astros attempt to load up for a run at a championship run like they did in 2017, a triumphant season in which the now Blue Jays outfielder/ designated hitter was named World Series MVP. Article content Article content He's seen teams add bit pieces and he's seen other organizations clean house, like the Jays did to some degree on their way to a last-place season just a year ago. Article content And he's seen clubhouses adapt to the changing faces and chemistry that comes along with the pursuit of even bigger goals. Article content 'I think you just keep playing and you keep doing what you need to do,' Springer said in an interview with the Toronto Sun this week, when asked about the mix of anxiety and excitement that builds as the deadline nears. 'You go to war with the guys that are in the locker room every day. And honestly? Whatever happens, happens. Article content 'I can't speak for how anybody else feels, but for me it's just about the guys who are here now and we'll see what happens.' Article content That said, Springer doesn't have his head in the sand. He can read the standing as closely as the next guy. He can feel the buzz building in the city, country and throughout Major League Baseball. And he knows that the Jays have earned the status of pushing general manager Ross Atkins to be an aggressive buyer as next Thursday's deadline rapidly approaches. Article content 'I just think it's cool that we've put ourselves in that position where other people talk about us,' Springer said. 'I know it's not something that's talked about in here. I think guys love each other in here and what we've done so far. I guess (trade deadline talk) is just a byproduct of a lot of hard work and the good things that have come.' Article content When a team keeps winning like the Jays have – now 6-1 out of the All Star break after Thursday's big 11-4 victory over the Tigers in Detroit — it's easy to get excited about the possibilities. Article content 'It's on everybody's mind a little bit,' Jays shortstop Bo Bichette acknowledged during the Yankees series in Toronto earlier in the week. 'We've put ourselves in a position where we think that there should be things done to help us. Article content 'At the same time I think we're so confident in everybody in that room, honestly, that whatever happens we'll continue to come here and just try to win.' Article content Underlying the comments of Springer and Bichette is the expectation in a clubhouse of seeing the front office go if not all in, making additions that will enhance the potential associated with having the best record in the American League (61-42) on Friday. Article content If the Jays are to cement that status and parlay it into some post season success, there are roster needs, starting with a beefing up of the bullpen, especially with the uncertainty around Yimi Garcia's status. Starting depth has to be on Atkins' radar as does an impact bat to further add to the already dynamic Toronto offence.
