NEW YORK (UPI) -- A.J. Burnett yielded two runs and six hits in seven
innings Friday, leading the New York Yankees to a 4-2 win over the
Toronto Blue Jays.
Burnett (7-4) walked two batters, struck out seven and limited the
heart of Toronto's batting order to two hits in 12 combined at-bats.
Robinson Cano and Alex Rodriguez both hit solo homers, Mark Teixeira
drew a fifth-inning bases loaded walk, a run scored on a passed ball
and Derek Jeter had two of the eight hits for the Yankees, who have
won eight of their last nine games.
Closer Mariano Rivera earned his 21st save this season with a 1-2-3
ninth.
One of two hits for Toronto's Vernon Wells was a sixth-inning solo
homer. Alex Rios had one RBI, while Marco Scutaro added two hits for
the Blue Jays, who have lost six of eight.
The losing pitcher was starter Brian Tallet (5-6), who allowed three
runs on six hits over six innings with four walks and three
strikeouts.
