DUNEDIN, Fla. – Nathan Lukes had a two-run triple and Chris Bassitt had a strong start as the Toronto Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 2-1 in spring training action Friday.

The Blue Jays got two of their three hits in a decisive sixth inning.

Bassitt stuck out four over 4 1/3 innings. He surrendered four of New York’s five hits, including an RBI double by DJ LeMahieu in the third.

Yimi Garcia struck out two in a scoreless sixth to pick up the win for Toronto (5-8). Mason Fluharty struck out the side in the ninth for the save.

Former Blue Jay Marcus Stroman struck out two over four no-hit innings for the Yankees (5-8).
