TORONTO — Aaron Sanchez and three relievers combined to keep the Yankees off the scoreboard and the Toronto Blue Jays rocked New York's bullpen in a 7-0 victory to complete a three-game sweep over their AL East rivals on Wednesday.

Edwin Encarnacion and Justin Smoak drove in two runs and Michael Saunders plated another over Toronto's (29-26) five-run seventh inning.

Josh Donaldson broke a scoreless tie with an RBI single in the fifth, Saunders scored on a double play, and Darwin Barney was 3 for 3 with a walk and two runs scored.

Sanchez (5-1) allowed seven hits and two walks while striking out six through 6 2/3 innings. Jason Grilli, Aaron Loup and Ryan Tepera did the rest.

A tight pitching duel dominated the first half of the game with Sanchez and New York's Masahiro Tanaka trading zeros over the first four innings until Donaldson's RBI base hit in the fifth.

Tanaka (3-1) allowed two runs, one earned, and seven hits over six innings for the Yankees. He struck out two batters and walked one. Relievers Kirby Yates (four runs) and Nick Goody (one run) worked the frightful seventh for the Yankees (24-28).

Encarnacion cashed in Kevin Pillar and Barney with a bases-loaded single off Yates and Saunders followed with a double off Goody to plate Donaldson for a 5-0 lead. Smoak kept the barrage going with a two-run single.

Grilli, acquired in a trade with Atlanta on Tuesday, made his Blue Jays debut with two out in the top of the seventh inning. He made an error on a pick-off attempt before throwing his first pitch, but got a fly ball from Carlos Beltran to end the frame.

Barney led off the bottom of the fifth with a single and came around to score on Donaldson's base hit to right field.

The Blue Jays added to their lead in the sixth thanks to an error on Yankees centre-fieler Jacoby Ellsbury. Saunders hit a lead-off double, moved to third when Ellsbury dropped a Justin Smoak fly ball, and scored when Russell Martin grounded into a double play.

Rodriguez, who was booed loudly by the crowd of 39,512 each time he stepped into the batter's box, hit his 545th career double off Sanchez in the fourth inning, passing Derek Jeter on the Yankees all-time list. Jeter and Rodriguez entered the night tied for 30th.

NOTES: Sanchez has held opponents to two earned runs or less in seven of his 11 starts, and has gone at least six innings in all but one outing this season. ... The Blue Jays have an off-day Thursday before beginning a road trip in Boston on Friday night. ... Jason Grilli and father Steve, who pitched 2 1/3 innings in a game for Toronto in 1979, became the second father-son duo to appear in a Blue Jays uniform in club history. John Mayberry and John Mayberry Jr., also both played for Toronto.
