Masahiro Tanaka pitched 7 1/3 innings, scattering 3 hits and 1 run, as the Blue Jay bats looked mostly helpless.

Jacoby Ellsbury scored the first run of the game in the top of the first. Leading the game off with a triple to left. Chase Headley drove him home with a single, one of his three hits in the game.

In the third, Brian McCann's sleeping bat finally woke up on a home run to right, his 2nd on the year. He is still struggling at the plate (.187 BA), but at lest it was a promising sign.

Carlos Beltran extended his hitting streak to 16 games on a single & error to right. 2 batters later he would score on a sacrifice fly by Austin Romine.

The Blue Jays finally got on the board, with their only run when Joey Bats led off the inning with a home run to center.

Andrew Miller came in with 1 out in the 8th and retired all 5 batters he faced.

With the win, the Yankees now improve to 20-6 and remain 6 games ahead in the AL East. The Blue Jays drop to 10-17.
