Thanks to Monday night's 4-1 win, the Blue Jays have now built a four-game lead over the New York Yankees in the American League East. But they know the Yankees, last year's World Series runners-up, will be gunning for deadline improvements.

The Blue Jays won the opening game 4-1 behind a four-run fifth inning to extend its home winning streak to 11 games and five consecutive over the Yankees. New York is now 2-4 over the last six games, while Toronto has won four straight out the break.
