MLB roundup: Gleyber Torres, Yankees earn 10th straight win

Gleyber Torres hit a tiebreaking single with two outs in the top of the ninth inning as the New York Yankees pushed their winning streak to 10 games with a 3-2 victory over the host Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night.

Giancarlo Stanton opened the ninth with a single to center off Yimi Garcia (0-2), and pinch runner Tim Locastro stole second. After Garcia retired former Blue Jays player Josh Donaldson and fanned Aaron Hicks, Torres gave the Yankees a 3-2 lead by lining a first-pitch curveball to center field to easily score Locastro.

Torres supplied New York's other two runs as well, swatting a two-run homer in the fourth inning. The Yankees are off to a 17-6 start, their best since opening 2003 with 19 wins in 23 games.

Bo Bichette and Matt Chapman had RBI hits in the bottom of the fourth for Toronto, which dropped to 9-3 in one-run games this season. George Springer and Bichette had two hits apiece, but Toronto was 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position.

Cease (3-1) did not walk a batter and matched a career-high with 11 strikeouts, including fanning Mike Trout three times. Cease retired 21 of the 23 batters he faced.

The White Sox had seven hits, including three from Luis Robert. Tim Anderson, Robert and Jose Abreu scored Chicago's runs.
