Edwin Encarnacion and Eric Thames had three hits and three RBIs each and the Toronto Blue Jays used an eight-run first inning to beat the New York Yankees 16-7 on Thursday night. The Blue Jays set season highs in runs and hits (20) to win their fourth straight game. Toronto lost slugger Jose Bautista to a twisted right ankle in the fourth inning. Bautista, who leads the majors with 31 home runs, limped off after an awkward slide into third base. He is day-to-day. Andruw Jones hit two home runs for the Yankees, the 42nd multihomer game of his career, but the Yankees couldn't extend a nine-year streak of winning their first game following the All-Star break. Jo-Jo Reyes (5-7) allowed seven runs and 10 hits in 5 1-3 innings.
