Blue Jays bomb their way past Yankees
Baseball Betting Lines
09/05/2010 - Bronx, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Vernon Wells and Aaron Hill both knocked in three runs to help the Toronto Blue Jays beat New York, 7-3, and salvage the finale of a three-game series at Yankee Stadium.
Wells hit a two-run homer in the first inning and Hill matched him in the third, while John Buck added a solo shot off New York starting pitcher Phil Hughes (16-7).
Brett Cecil (12-7) allowed three runs on seven hits and walked four over 6 1/3 innings for the Blue Jays, who lead the majors with 208 home runs this season.
The loss snapped the Yankees' season-high winning streak at eight games. New York maintained its 2 1/2 game lead over Tampa Bay in the AL East after the Rays were beaten by Baltimore on Sunday.
Hughes was tagged for six runs and seven hits in six innings for the Yankees, who welcomed back Alex Rodriguez. The All-Star third baseman was activated from the disabled list Sunday after missing time with a strained left calf. He went 2-for-5 with an RBI in his return to the lineup.
A pair of 0-2 mistakes by Hughes to Wells and Hill resulted in a 4-0 lead for Toronto.
The Yankees got on the board in the bottom of the third. Greg Golson doubled to open the frame, advanced on a Ramiro Pena single and came home on a sacrifice fly by Brett Gardner.
Hill increased Toronto's lead to 5-1 with a sac fly in the fifth, and Buck went deep in the sixth to give the Blue Jays a five-run advantage.
Jorge Posada doubled home Marcus Thames for New York in the home half of the sixth. Toronto, though, got the run back in the seventh, when Yankees reliever Sergio Mitre issued a bases-loaded walk to Wells.
Rodriguez plated Pena in the bottom of the inning to trim New York's deficit to 7-3.
