Downing the Jays

In a game when they were out-hit 14-6, the Yankees held onto a 3-3 tie into the 11th inning before Robinson Cano hit a walkoff single to win the game for New York, 4-3.

(Better yet, I saw that Cano was up to bat with a man on first and second, and the score was tied, and I wrote the above sentence, hoping it would come true. Then he fulfilled my prediction. That's what I'm talking about!)

A.J. Burnett absorbed most of the damage, allowing 10 hits and three runs over six innings. He also struck out seven.

Cano was 2-for-5 with two RBI, and Johnny Damon went 2-for-4 with an RBI off his solo shot in the third.

Derek Jeter left the game after being hit by a pitch on his right foot. He ran the bases and scored a run before being replaced.

With a 2-1 series win over the Blue Jays in its pocket, New York now heads west to Seattle for a series against the Mariners.
