Chapman's homer helps Blue Jays snap Yankees' 11-game winning streak

Matt Chapman homered and starter Yusei Kikuchi threw a season-high six innings as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated New York 2-1 on Wednesday night to end the Yankees' 11-game winning streak.

Jordan Romano worked the ninth for his 12th save to help Toronto salvage the finale of the three-game series. The Blue Jays (16-10) have won 10 of their last 15 games.

Joey Gallo hit a solo shot for New York's lone run. It was the Yankees' second loss in their last 15 games.

Chapman hit a solo shot off left-hander Nestor Cortes (1-1) in the second inning but Gallo answered with a solo homer of his own in the third off Kikuchi (1-1).

After reaching on a two-out double, Bo Bichette restored Toronto's lead in the bottom half of the inning. Vladimir Guerrero, Jr., drove him in with an RBI single.
