Yankees Rally Past Blue Jays Behind Rice Homer in Ninth

The only Finger Lakes-tracked team in action Sunday was the New York Yankees, who pulled away from the Toronto Blue Jays 8-3 on the strength of a tiebreaking home run from Rice in the ninth inning. Caballero also went deep as New York extended its lead in the standings. The win moves the Yankees to 43-27 on the season, while Toronto drops further back at 34-38.

It was a quiet Sunday across the region, with no games on the schedule for the Bills, Sabres, Giants, Knicks, Rangers, Red Wings, Knighthawks, Cornell, Hobart, or Syracuse. For Yankees fans in the Finger Lakes, though, the late-game heroics offered plenty to talk about heading into the week.
