NEW YORK — Growing up in Cuba, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. didn’t foresee coming through in the clutch the way he did in his first major league game. The prized Toronto Blue Jays prospect delivered — in consecutive at-bats, too. Gurriel made an impressive debut with two hits and three RBIs as the Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 8-5 Friday night. The Blue Jays chased Sonny Gray (1-2) by sending nine batters to the plate in the fourth inning. Yuli Gurriel did pretty well in his first full season in the majors last year, hitting .299 with 18 homers and 75 RBIs.
