Bo Bichette's two-run homer caps Blue Jays' wild 8-4 win over rival Yankees
Toronto Blue Jays' Ernie Clement, right, hits an RBI single off New York Yankees starting pitcher Max Fried (54) in fourth inning MLB baseball game action in Toronto on Wednesday, July 23, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jon Blacker TORONTO — Bo Bichette's two-run homer capped off a wild victory as the Toronto Blue Jays held off the New York Yankees 8-4 on Wednesday. The victory tied the Blue Jays with the Houston Astros for the best record in the American League. Myles Straw's double drove in Ernie Clement for the go-ahead run in the sixth inning as Toronto (60-42) won the three-game series and locked up the tiebreaker between the two AL East rivals. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had an RBI double in the fourth, then drove in two more runs in the fifth on a fielder's choice, as the Blue Jays and Yankees traded leads. Clement's basehit in the fourth also scored a runner and pinch-hitter Will Wagner plated Straw in the sixth. Chris Bassitt (11-4) was solid for 7 1/3 innings, striking out eight and allowing four runs — three earned — on three hits and no walks. Relievers Justin Bruihl and Yariel Rodriguez preserved the win. Aaron Judge's two-run homer in the sixth tied the game 4-4 for New York (56-46), but that lead disappeared in the bottom of the inning thanks to Straw and Wagner's RBIs. Jasson Dominguez had a home run in the second and Anthony Volpe added a solo shot in the fifth. Ace Max Fried (11-4) struggled, giving up five runs — four earned — on six hits and three walks, striking out three over 5 1/3 innings. Jonathan Loaisiga, Scott Effross and JT Brubaker all came out of the visitor's bullpen, with Effross giving up two runs. Takeaways Yankees: The long ball remains the key to success for New York, with all four of its runs coming from homers. The Yankees entered the game with a Major League Baseball-best 162 home runs, five more than the Los Angeles Dodgers. Shohei Ohtani had L.A.'s one homer in its 4-3 win over the Minnesota Twins earlier Wednesday. Blue Jays: Toronto benefited greatly from New York's four errors and other fielding miscues, eking out runs on walks, dropped balls, wild pitches, and overthrows. Bichette's two-run blast — his 13th home run of the year — was the Blue Jays' cleanest score of the game as Guerrero had led off the inning with a double. Key moment Davis Schneider was caught stealing by Yankees catcher J.C. Escarra with one out in the fifth inning. A video replay overturned the call on the field, however. George Springer drew a walk in the next at bat and Guerrero drove them both home when Escarra dropped the ball trying to tag Schneider at the plate. Key stat The Blue Jays expanded their lead in the AL East to four games over New York with the victory. Toronto and the Yankees will play three more times this year but the Blue Jays now have the tiebreaker should they wind up with identical records by the end of the regular season. Up next Eric Lauer (5-2) will take the mound as the Blue Jays begin a four-game series in Detroit. Reese Olson (4-3) gets the start for the AL Central-leading Tigers (60-43).

Indoor Aquatics Facility Project sparks debate among Regina city council
The biggest item discussed at Regina's executive committee meeting on Wednesday, both in scope and cost, was the Indoor Aquatics Facility Project. The debate centered around committee recommending that city council approve a total project cost for the facility of $285.1 million. A new report put in front of city councillors this week has increased the price tag of the new aquatic facility by $40 million. To fund these additional costs, it is being proposed $30 million come from the re-prioritization of projects in the 10-year Recreation/Culture Capital Plan. That includes $1.28 million from the city's outdoor dog parks to the IAF Project. Ward 5 Coun. Sarah Turnbull proposed a motion to take the $1.28 million from the city's outdoor pools budget instead of dog parks, but the motion was lost by a vote of nine to one. The allocation of the remaining $10 million needed for the facility is proposed to be added to the city's available debt funding, increasing it from $146 million to $156 million. According to administration, the extra $10 million added to the city's debt would result in an increase in taxes of 57 cents per median household per month. Ward 10 Coun. Clark Bezo was not satisfied with this number figure though and motioned to table the IAF discussion until September during budget meetings, so that administration could provide a more thorough dollar figure on Regina residents' debt and tax bill. That motion was lost by a vote of eight to three, with Bezo, Ward 1 Coun. Dan Rashovich, and Ward 2 Coun. George Tsikilis voting in favour. A handful of delegates were at Regina City Hall to make their case for the aquatic facility to move ahead. Cyril Dorgigne with Regina Water Polo and Water Polo Saskatchewan claimed that Regina can't currently support national and international water polo competitions due to the small pool size at the Lawson Aquatics Centre and that the new facility will allow the city of Regina to host such events. 'We are the only top 10 club in the country that cannot host national finals, because we need two feet of deep tank and right now, we can only have one in Regina,' he said. Tracy Moser, the president of the Regina Piranhas Summer Swim Club, said there is limited pool space in Regina for competitive speed swimming. This summer, the club was forced to use some of the outdoor pools in the city due to a six-week closure of the University of Regina indoor pool. She said this challenge would be mitigated with a new aquatic facility. When questioning Moser, Bezo suggested putting a roof onto the recently renovated Wascana Pool. 'We've got Wascana Pool which is a brand-new state of the art facility,' he said. What are your thoughts if we put a roof over that one and cancelled this project?' Moser responded that would be a waste of dollars and would not sufficiently support sports like competitive swimming and water polo. 'Wascana would not meet the needs that we are looking for. We need 50 metres of length, you would never be able to host an event at Wascana, first of all with a roof overtop of it.' Marj Walton, who is on the Indoor Aquatic Facility Community Advisory Committee, encouraged council to get the ball rolling when it comes to the facility, saying it is the mandate of a municipality to have a high-level indoor aquatic facility, and Regina is currently falling behind. The motion to approve the new estimated cost of $285.1 million was passed by a vote of eight to one, with only Coun. Bezo voting against. The decision still requires final council approval next week.
