Burnett Silences The Blue Birds

On a Friday afternoon in the Bronx, A.J. Burnett defeated his former team, the Toronto Blue Jays by tossing 7 strong innings while allowing only 2 earned runs...

The Yankees 4-2 victory over the Blue Jays was a good start to the 4 game series and particularly important since they'll be facing Halladay tomorrow...

Additional Notes:

Alex Rodriguez continues to improve--he belted a solo home run in the 8th...Robinson Cano also had a home run and Derek Jeter had 2 hits...

Phil Coke and Phil Hughes combined for a scoreless 8th inning of relief and Mariano Rivera picked up the save...

Tomorrow, Chien-Ming Wang takes the hill...

Let's Go Yanks!!!!!
