The final score was not indicative of how close a game this was.

The Blue Jays jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first, after Jose Reyes led off the game with a single and Maicer Izturis homered. After the shaky start, C.C. Sabathia would settle down and pitch 7 strong innings, giving up 3 runs and 8 hits.

The Yanks took the lead in the top of the 3rd on consecutive 2-out RBI singles by Mark Teixeira, Garrett Jones and Alex Rodriguez.

The Blue Jays came back in the bottom of the 5th to tie the game at 3 when Pompey led off the inning with a triple to center. Reyes would bring him home on a chopped groundout to third.

The Yankees immediately took the lead in the top of the 6th. With two out and no one on, consecutive singles by Austin Romine, Stephen Drew and Brendan Ryan.

The score would remain 4-3 until the top of the 9th, when more clutch 2 out hitting would propel the Bombers. Singles by Jacoby Ellsbury and Chase Headley was followed by a towering home run by Mark Teixeira to lead the team to a 7-3 victory.

Jim Miller picked up a 6 out save in relief of Sabathia.

With the win, the Yankees are now an astounding 21-6, 6 games ahead of Boston in the AL East. The Blue Jays drop to 10-18, 11.5 games behind.
