Bo Bichette lifts Blue Jays over Yankees 4-1

TORONTO – Bo Bichette’s two-run double sparked a four-run fifth inning as the Toronto Blue Jays opened a three-game series against the New York Yankees with a 4-1 win on Monday.
Myles Straw hit an RBI single three batters later to drive home Bichette as Toronto (59-41) won its fourth straight. Leo Jimenez reached first on a throwing error in the next at bat, scoring Straw.
The win gave the Blue Jays a four-game lead over the Yankees in the American League East.
Kevin Gausman (7-7) was impressive, giving up the one run and striking out eight over seven innings of work. He allowed four hits and two walks.
Relievers Brendon Little, Yariel Rodriguez and Jeff Hoffman preserved the win.

Scott Effross and JT Brubaker combined for three innings of scoreless relief.
TAKEAWAYS
Yankees: Shortstop Anthony Volpe had a rough fifth inning. Although it was ruled a base hit, his throw on Straw’s RBI single was way off-line, turning what could have been a groundout into two bases for Toronto’s centre-fielder. In the next at bat, Volpe pulled first baseman Paul Goldschmidt off the bag to allow Jimenez to reach safely and give Straw enough time to cross home.
Blue Jays: Toronto loaded the bases in the second and fourth innings but wasn’t able to score any runners, squandering an opportunity to break the game wide open. Bichette’s double brought the sold-out crowd of 41,786 to their feet and finally took advantage of a solid night at the plate.
KEY MOMENT
Gausman issued two balls to Jazz Chisholm Jr., in the third inning with two runners on base and the game scoreless. But the Blue Jays starter bore down, skimming the bottom of the zone with back-to-back four-seam fastballs then getting Chisholm out when the slugger bit on a splitter for a foul tip.
KEY STAT
Bichette entered the game hitting an impressive .394 with runners in scoring position. His two-run double brought him up to .400 with teammates on second or third base.
UP NEXT
Max Scherzer (1-0) gets the start as Toronto continues its three-game series against New York. The Jays have won 11 in a row at Rogers Centre.
Cam Schlittler (1-0) will take the mound for the Yankees.

B.C. signs 2 more trade deals, this time with with Manitoba, Yukon

British Columbia has signed two more internal trade agreements with other Canadian jurisdictions to boost trade and labour mobility, a day after a similar deal with Ontario was announced.
B.C. Premier David Eby says in a statement that the province has signed separate deals with Manitoba and Yukon, agreeing to work “to remove trade barriers between provinces and territories.”
The statement says the deal signed with Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew includes measures to increase the mobility of regulated workers and professionals between the two provinces, and allowing direct alcohol sales from Manitoba to B.C. consumers.

B.C. alcoholic beverages can already be sold directly to consumers in Manitoba.
The Yukon agreement signed with Premier Mike Pemberton focuses on the removal of trade barriers as well as the alignment of standards for regulated occupations.
The deal between B.C. and Yukon is in addition to a memorandum in May that the two jurisdictions will co-operate on possibly connecting their power grids.
“With these trade agreements, we’re making it easier to buy and sell our great Canadian products to our fellow Canadian neighbours,” Eby says in the statement. “This is another important step toward building a stronger economy here at home — one that’s less reliant on the U.S and works better for people.”
The deals were signed at the premiers’ meeting in Huntsville, Ont., where B.C.’s agreement with Ontario was made public Monday.
Ontario also announced agreements with Nunavut, Yukon and the Northwest Territories, which Premier Doug Ford said when combined with the B.C. deal would help Canada unlock roughly $200 billion in economic potential.

Carney stayed overnight at Ford’s Muskoka cottage ‘chatting in front of the fireplace’

Prime Minister Mark Carney stayed overnight at Doug Ford’s rural Muskoka property “solving the world’s problems” around the fireplace on Monday, Ontario’s premier says.
Carney was in cottage country Monday and for the first half of Tuesday to hold meetings with Canada’s premiers to discuss interprovincial trade and tariffs from the United States.
After the first day of meetings, Ford invited his fellow premiers and their immediate family for an intimate meal at his cottage, which is located a short drive from the Deerhurst Resort, where the main conference is taking place.
Quebec Premier Francois Legault described the property, with a wink, as a “very nice, small chalet.”

Ford added, “I have a little shack up the street there.”
The premier’s staff said Ford and his guests ate seasonal vegetables, potatoes, salad, chicken and steak, as well as a cake to celebrate British Columbia Premier David Eby’s birthday.
Carney, who arrived in the area late on Monday, then agreed to stay over at the Ford family cottage, the premier said.
“So, full disclosure, the prime minister stayed at my place,” Ford said. ” We had dinner, we were up till 12:30 at night, chatting in front of the fireplace, solving all the world’s problems.”
Praising the prime minister, he added: “He’s playing clean up right now. We’re going to be there to support him. But he’s a very good man. He’s off to a good start.”
The three days of meetings in Muskoka have been dominated by the question of tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump, who has promised to add a 35 per cent levy to Canada on Aug. 1.
While the country’s premiers and prime minister agreed on the importance of working together to reduce internal trade barriers and the need for Ottawa to negotiate a good deal, they outlined few concrete takeaways from their meetings on Tuesday afternoon.
