Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - It took a late rally, but the Yankees are still tied for first place.

Staring at four-run deficit after five innings with Baltimore comfortably ahead in its game against Boston, the Yankees scored eight runs over the final four innings to earn a 9-6 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.

Robinson Cano keyed the comeback with three hits, an RBI and two runs scored, as New York kept a share of first place with the Orioles in the AL East heading to the final three games of the season.

The Yankees managed a split of the four games in Toronto and will head home for three with the Red Sox, who were just swept in Baltimore. The Orioles will travel to St. Petersburg for three with the Tampa Bay Rays.
