It will take more than one swing to declare Gleyber Torres as “back,” but he took a step in the right direction Friday night.

TORONTO — and recorded his first two-hit game in over a month to help the Yankees thrash the Blue Jays 16-5 at Rogers Centre.

Gleyber Torres celebrates with Jahmai Jones after belting a two-run homer in the sixth inning of the Yankees’ 16-5 win over the Blue Jays.”Happy because I did something for the team,” Torres said. “It shows a little bit I’ve been working those days. Proud of myself to help my team tonight.” “I feel like I’m more focused right now,” Torres said. “I don’t want to put so much pressure on myself. The first couple at-bats, I just missed a couple pitches. … But I stayed focused. I think in the past, I was a little more frustrated and tonight it was more motivated.”
