The Yankees swept a doubleheader from the Blue Jays, winning the opener, 2-1, on Cliff Johnson's two-run homer and pounding three pitchers for 14 hits in a 9-1 rout in the nightcap. Johnson, who has eight homers off Toronto pitching since coming into the league last season, blasted his round-tripper following a one-out single by Chris Chambliss in the second inning.
