"Giancarlo Stanton cracked a grand slam, Anthony Volpe went 3-for-4, and the Yankees (8-2) won their first home series of the season with an 8-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays (4-6) on Sunday afternoon at Yankee Stadium."
"The difference, however, was that Yankees starting pitcher Luis Gil struck out Cavan Biggio to limit the damage."
"The caveat for both sides, however, was that both starting pitchers ran their pitch counts high. Francis was done after three innings, having thrown 77 pitches. Gil's day was over after 4.1 innings and 95 pitches thrown, with legitimate concern that this matinee matchup would put undue stress on both bullpens."
