Eight = Four + Victory!

When the Toronto Blue Jays were defeating 2-0 and sweeping the New York Yankees, a late four run rally gave the 'Bombers' a 4-3 victory at Rogers Centre this Sunday, the day that the pitcher Javier Vazquez really wasn't able to lose because he gave his best performance of the season.

The 'Bombers' had left three runners in scoring position before Derek Jetet got a RBI double in the eighth. In that inning the tying and the go ahead runs were on base and the Yankees struggled striking out with Nick Swisher, and Alex Rodriguez, who had the bases loaded after the Blue Jays walked Mark Teixeira.

However, 'A-Rod' was lucky in his at bat due to Brett Gardnet who scored thanks to a wild pitch of the closer Jason Frasor, and Robinson Cano drove in the third and fourth run batting a single. The little Yankees festival began when the starter Brandon Morrow and the reliever Scott Downs (the losing pitcher) hit Francisco Cervelli and Gardner respectively with their pitches.

If I were Javier Vazquez and the Yankees hadn´t won, I'd be very upset and disappointed because the Blue Jays' batters struck out nine times and only batted one hit against him through seven innings. I would be depressed because the hit was a two-run homerun by Vernon Wells that allowed the Blue Jays to take a 2-0 lead in the sixth, and it looked like a chance for the Blue Jays to sweep the three game series.

Yankees' fans felt jittery when Joba Chamberlain pitched in the bottom of the eighth. The right hander was vulnerable facing Jose Molina and Fred Lewis. A scary double and a single changed the scoreboard to a one run game. Fortunately, Joba got a double play when Aaron Hill was at the plate. Then, Damaso Mart dominated Adam Lind, and Mariano Rivera in the ninth got his 13th save of the year.

This Monday will be a day off for the Yankees and Tuesday they will come back to play in Baltimore.

'A-Rod' left the game with right groin tightness, but hopefully he'll play on Tuesday against the Orioles.
