Robinson Cano homers twice, David Phelps solid in Yankees’ 7-2 win over Blue Jays

NEW YORK, N.Y. – Robinson Cano hit a pair of two-run homers to back a solid effort by David Phelps and the New York Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays for the ninth straight time at Yankee Stadium, 7-2 Saturday.

Phelps (2-2) stuck out eight while allowing one run in a season-high seven innings, helping New York beat the Blue Jays for the eighth time in nine games this season.

Cano connected off Brandon Morrow with two outs in the third after Brett Gardner drove in the first run of the game with an RBI single. Cano also hit one off Morrow (1-3) with two out in the fifth, a shot that gave him his second multihomer game of the year. He has 12 such games for his career.
