Bautista, Blue Jays pound Yankees, 6-1

TORONTO - Jose Bautista hit two towering home runs, Edwin Encarnacion also connected, and the slugging Toronto Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees, 6-1, on Friday night.

Brett Cecil (6-2) went eight innings for Toronto, allowing one run and five hits.

Bautista led off the second with a drive off A.J. Burnett (6-3) that went off the facing of the third deck in left, his career high 17th. He went deep again in the fourth, finding the same area again for a two-run shot.

Encarnacion led off the fifth with his eighth homer, a drive to left-center that gave Toronto a 4-0 lead.

Burnett allowed six runs and six hits in six innings, walked four and struck out two against his old team.

Bautista leads the majors with 18 homers, and the Blue Jays have a major league-high 94 longballs.

The Jays' rightfielder, who also had a leadoff double in the eighth, went 3 for 3 with three RBIs.

New York scored its only run in the sixth. Chad Moeller hit a leadoff double, went to third on Derek Jeter's single and came home when Nick Swisher grounded into a double play.
