VIDEO: Yankees Race Ahead of Toronto With Homers From Aaron Judge, Brett Gardner and DJ LeMahieu
By Michael Luciano
The New York Yankees might have already clinched the AL East, but that doesn't mean they're above beating up on a division rival. To start things off Sunday, the Bombers took a quick 1-0 lead over the Toronto Blue Jays on Aaron Judge's 26th home run of the season.

Not wanting to be outdone, Brett Gardner followed Judge with a home run of his own. Gardner's career-best 27th dinger on the season brought home Giancarlo Stanton and Luke Voit while extended the Yankee lead to 4-0.

DJ LeMahieu got in on the fun just one inning later, giving the Yanks a 6-0 lead on his 26th home run of 2019.

The Yankees continue to mash even with a premium playoff spot locked up already. And they're surely far from done.
