The red-hot Toronto Blue Jays surged into first place in the American League East by sweeping the New York Yankees in a four-game series last week. Their rivalry spilled over from the field and into the broadcast booths when Jamie Campbell, host of Blue Jays Central on SportsNet, took a shot at Yankees announcing legend Michael Kay.

The game seemed all but over after the first inning, when Will Warren dug them a 7-0 hole that soon became 8-0.

Andrés Giménez had a go-ahead, three-run homer for the Blue Jays, who overcame a 2-0 deficit against Max Fried. After the Yankees tied the score 4-4 in the seventh, Toronto broke open the game in the bottom half against a reeling Yankees bullpen.
