Yanks Down Jays in 10 Innings

Posted Jul 18, 07 6:51 AM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – The Yankees downed the Jays last night in the Bronx, taking an oddball outing, 3-2, in 10 innings. After Toronto's Jeremy Accardo balked in the tying run in the 9th, reliever Casey Johnson beaned A-Rod in the 10th, then sent him to second on a wild pitch. Two batters later, Robinson Cano singled to left, scoring Rodriquez.

The win is the Yanks' 10th in 13 games, lifting them to eight back of Boston in the AL East. Though reliever Kyle Farnsworth got them into late trouble, starter Andy Pettitte was masterful through seven. Toronto ace Roy Halliday has been particularly effective against the Yanks lately, chalking up a 1.91 ERA in his last nine starts against them.

    Slow Start Lands Yankees in Unfamiliar AL East Cellar Last place is unfamiliar territory for the Yankees. Since 1912 the Bronx Bombers have only finished there twice, compared to 26 world titles. This year, however, they have bungled their way to a 20-24 record and find themselves looking up, record-wise in the AL, not only at division foes like the Tampa Bay Rays but also at the Royals and the Athletics, three teams whose combined payroll is barely three-fourths of New York, reports USA Today.
