Bird’s grand slam caps Yankees’ 6-run 1st

Greg homered for the second time in two days to put the Yankees ahead early on Sunday afternoon, his grand slam putting a bow on a six-run first inning against Blue Jays starter Ryan Borucki. Bird’s second career grand slam put the Yankees up, 6-1, and it marked his third home run off a left-hander this season. He’d entered play hitting .210/.301/.403 in 69 games this season, and .140 this month.
