<p>DUNEDIN, Fla. &#8212; The Yankees dropped another series to a division rival with Wednesday’s 5-4 loss, as Bo Bichette led off the bottom of the ninth with a homer off Chad Green to give the Blue Jays the victory.</p>



<p>It was Bichette’s second home runs of the game and the Yankees dropped to 5-7 with the loss, spoiling a day in which Aaron Judge hit two homers of his own. </p>



<p>Judge provided the Yankees with their first opening-inning run of the season with a one-out homer, his third of the year. He belted another off T.J. Zeuch to lead off the fourth.</p>



<p>Corey Kluber pitched around a single and a walk in a 23-pitch first, but wasn’t as fortunate in the second.</p>



<p>Alejandro Kirk hit a two-run homer with one out to give the Blue Jays a 2-1 lead. Bichette opened the bottom of the third with a home run to right to make it 3-1 before the Yankees came back in the fourth.</p>



<p>Judge led off the fourth inning with his second homer of the game, this one an opposite-field shot to right. Brett Gardner walked and moved to third on Gleyber Torres’ one-out double. Jay Bruce followed with a strikeout, but Gio Urshela delivered a two-out single to left to score both runners and put the Yankees ahead, 4-3.</p>

<p>Kluber ended up allowing three runs in four innings during a 77-pitch outing. Jonathan Loaisiga took over and allowed a two-out hit to right by Cavan Biggio, but the ball went under Judge’s glove and Biggio got all the way to third.</p>



<p>Judge fired the ball all the way to Urshela at third and Biggio inexplicably strayed beyond third and was caught in a rundown. Gary Sanchez tagged him for the final out to keep the Yankees up by a run.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Loaisiga loaded the bases with no one out in the sixth, allowing singles to Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Rowdy Tellez before he hit Kirk on a 2-2 pitch.</p>



<p>After a visit from pitching coach Matt Blake, Loaisiga got Josh Palacios to ground to first, where Bruce fired home for the first out.&nbsp;</p>



<p>But with Marcus Semien at the plate, Loaisiga threw a wild pitch to score Tellez and tie the game. Loaisiga got Semien to pop to left and Bichette grounded out to end the inning.</p>



<p>Darren O’Day and Justin Wilson tossed scoreless innings before giving way to Green.</p>
