The fireworks came a day early for three clubs who won in grand fashion on Saturday.

Brett Gardner's grand slam keyed the Yankees' biggest inning since 2005, an 11-run third that carried them to an 11-3 win over the Blue Jays. In Minnesota, the Twins held a five-run lead going to the eighth before the Rays rallied for seven runs. The final four came on Matt Joyce's grand slam in an 8-6 Tampa Bay victory.
