The New York Yankees lost to the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday, but Alex Rodriguez hit a home run for the first time since Sept. 20, 2013.

Rodriguez homered off Toronto's Daniel Norris, the 655th of his career.

"I felt like I needed Google Maps or something to round the bases," Rodriguez said.

"It's been a long, long time. It felt good. We talked about it in spring training; anything that I do this year is going to be kind of a surprise to everyone -- sometimes even myself. That one felt good to get us on the board and start a little momentum."
