<p>Rice connected off Blue Jays closer Jeff Hoffman (6-3) for his 15th home run as the Yankees snapped a five-game losing streak against Toronto.</p>
<p>Ian Hamilton (2-1) got one out for the win and Devin Williams finished for his 15th save in 16 chances.</p>
<p>Addison Barger had two hits and George Springer reached base four times but Toronto's franchise-record home winning streak ended at 11 games.</p>
<p>New York led 4-2 before a throwing error by Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe opened the door to a game-tying rally in the sixth. The error was Volpe's 13th, tying him for most in the majors. It was his second error in two games.</p>
<p>Pinch hitter Myles Straw reached on Volpe's error and scored when pinch hitter Davis Schneider doubled off left-hander Tim Hill. Jonathan Loáisiga came on to face George Springer, who drove in Schneider with a game-tying single.</p>
<p>Making his second career start, Yankees right-hander Cam Schlittler allowed two runs and seven hits in five innings. He walked three and struck out three.</p>
<p>Toronto's Max Scherzer allowed four runs and five hits in five innings.</p>
<p>New York jumped out to an early lead when Chisholm hit a three-run homer off Scherzer in the first, his 18th.</p>
<p>Barger hit a two-out RBI single in the bottom of the first, but Bellinger's one-out blast in the fifth, his 18th, made it 4-1.</p>
<p>Key moment</p>
<p>Rice hit a 389-foot homer on the first pitch he saw from Hoffman.</p>
<p>Key stat</p>
<p>Schlittler's fastest pitch of the game was clocked at 99.5 mph, one of four he threw above 99 mph.</p>
<p>Up next</p>
<p>Yankees LHP Max Fried (11-3, 2.43 ERA) is expected to start against Blue Jays RHP Chris Bassitt (10-4, 3.89) in Wednesday's series finale.</p>
