Can't keep the Yankees down

The Yanks trailed the Blue Jays 4-3 heading into the bottom of the eighth, but the same team that's been working magic all season (and especially this weekend) showed up again, piling up four runs in the bottom of the frame to pull New York past Toronto to win 7-5.

Hideki Matsui and Jorge Posada hit back-to-back home runs in the eighth, and Mariano Rivera closed the game to record his 33rd save in 34 tries.

Johnny Damon and Derek Jeter were both 3-for-5.

The win makes the Yankees the first team to reach 70 wins this season.
