Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - Brandon Morrow tossed seven scoreless innings and Edwin Encarnacion went 3-for-4 with three RBI, as the last-place Toronto Blue Jays kept the New York Yankees from padding their AL East lead with a 6-0 victory in the opener of a four-game series.

The loss moved the idle Baltimore Orioles within one game of New York with six to play.

Morrow (9-7) scattered four hits and three walks while striking out three for the Blue Jays, who were coming off a split of a four-game series in Baltimore.

Brett Lawrie went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, while J.P. Arencibia also had two hits, including a solo shot, in the win.

Ivan Nova (12-8) surrendered four runs on six hits and two walks over 4 2/3 innings to take the loss, New York's third in five games.
