Solarte’s HR helps Blue Jays steal first win
With Josh Donaldson limited to designated hitter duties because of a dead-arm issue, Yangervis Solarte made his second consecutive start at third base and did not disappoint. The 30-year-old delivered the go-ahead homer in the bottom of the eighth inning to secure the Blue Jays’ 5-3 victory over the Yankees on Saturday afternoon. Kevin Pillar subsequently singled, before stealing second, third and home to score a key insurance run in historic fashion.
