5 Straight Wins for Blue Jays
Li-Jen Chu did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the New York Yankees from being beaten, 7-6, to the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. Chu was 2-3 with a home run, a triple, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Toronto reliever Lazaro Leyva picked up the win, upping his record to 6-5. Shae Simmons took the loss. José Amaya got the save, his 3rd in 5 chances.

Had Josh Morgan not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Morgan hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 7-6, in favor of the Blue Jays.

"You can't hate how you win if you win," said Toronto skipper José Soto.

The Yankees, now 34-53, have lost 4 in a row.
