TORONTO — The Yankees experienced plenty of drama at Rogers Centre last year, and in most cases, it did not end well for them.

In their first trip here this season, they found the good kind of drama and came away with a series win.

For the second straight day, the Yankees broke a tie in the top of the ninth with a two-run homer — this one from Ben Rice — before piling on to take the rubber game with an 8-3 win over the Blue Jays on Sunday afternoon.

After Rice’s clutch moonshot, the Yankees (43-27) kept the rally going, culminating in a three-run shot from José Caballero to put the game on ice and send them home flying high off a 5-1 trip.

It will take more than one series in June to avenge what happened last year, when the Yankees went 1-8 north of the border and saw the Blue Jays (34-38) fly past them on the way to the World Series, but it was a start.

“Chip on our shoulder, and we don’t like those guys over there, they don’t like us,” said Will Warren, who labored through four innings but limited the damage to two runs. “Finding any way to win is a good one, especially on the road.”

The Yankees, who secured their first series win at Rogers Centre since 2023, have now won seven games this season in which the winning run scored in the ninth inning — three of them on this six-game trip.

“It just speaks to the mentality of the group,” Rice said. “Feel like everyone’s got that next-man-up mentality and regardless of who is on the mound or the situation, is going to go up there and put together a quality at-bat.”

Paul Goldschmidt, who delivered the go-ahead blast in Saturday’s win, started the ninth-inning rally Sunday with a swinging bunt down the third base line. Blue Jays reliever Braydon Fisher tried to make a wild play and got off an ill-advised throw that ended up down the right field line, allowing Goldschmidt to take second.

Rice then worked a full count before getting a slider on the inside corner that he clobbered for his team-leading 19th home run of the season.

Aaron Boone said he told Rice after the go-ahead blast that he had taken some “bad swings today,” but he was “right on time for that last one.”

“I think he’s being friendly there,” Rice said with a grin. “There definitely were some swings that weren’t very convicted on my end. So to finish the day on a good one like that feels nice.”

After walks by Jasson Domínguez and Jazz Chisholm Jr., Caballero provided breathing room by taking Tommy Nance deep, capping a day in which he played three different positions, got into an argument with the home plate umpire and then sent a ball 420 feet.

Anthony Volpe also enjoyed a strong all-around day, going 2-for-4 with a pair of RBIs and some strong defense at shortstop. He put the Yankees up 1-0 in the second inning when he singled home Max Schuemann, who had doubled off left-hander Patrick Corbin, and then came around to score on Ali Sánchez’s RBI double — Sánchez’s first hit as a Yankee and the first RBI from a Yankee catcher since May 26.

After the Blue Jays tied it off Warren with single runs in the third and fourth innings on a barrage of well-placed singles — “Blue Jays are going to Blue Jay,” Warren said with a grin — Volpe put the Yankees back on top 3-2 in the sixth with another RBI single.

The lead did not last long, as Jake Bird gave up a solo shot to Davis Schneider in the bottom of the frame, but unlike last season, the Yankees got the last laugh before heading back home.

“It feels good to shake hands and be celebrating a win in here, which obviously that was very difficult for us in this building last year,” Boone said. “It is a new year, you’ve got to keep going all the time. But what a good finish to an outstanding road trip against a couple good teams heading into the off day.”
