- Summary -
Game 2 came to another very disapointing loss for the Jays. They were up 5-2 when Romero broke his finger and left the game and is headed to the DL. In the 8th, Balfour gave up a 3 run shot to Posada (His 3rd blown inning in a row), and upon exit had words with the manager. In the 4th Sanchez hit a SacFly to put the Jays up 1-0. Swisher hit a solo shot the same inning to tie it. In the 6th, Jim Thome blasted his 4th homer out, which was a 2 run shot to give Jays a 3-1 lead. Francisco singled up the center to score another run to make it 4-1. Bautista singled in a run next inning to make it 5-1. The Jays were looking to finally get a win, when Granderson doubled in a run, and then Posada knocked a 3 run shot out to tie it. In the bottom of the 9th, Masset allowed the bases loaded and a Teixiera single scored a run to win it for the Yankees.

* After the game RP Grant Balfour, and 1-3 Star Catching Prospect were traded to the Cardinals for RP Fernando Salas. Salas will take over Balfours failed role in the bullpen.
* Also Kyle Drabek was called up to replace Romero in the lineup as he will be heading to the DL.
