Yankees 5, Blue Jays 4
Mark Teixeira's two-out single in the bottom of the ninth inning capped a stirring rally as the New York Yankees upended the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium.
With Blue Jays closer Frank Francisco (1-2) in to protect a one-run lead, Jorge Posada hit a one-out double and pinch runner Chris Dickerson advanced on a Derek Jeter groundout. Curtis Granderson singled home Dickerson with the tying run before stealing second base and scoring on Teixeira's walkoff single.
The late comeback made a winner out of CC Sabathia (5-3), who surrendered four runs on eight hits in his first complete game of the season. The victory improved him to 10-3 all-time against Toronto.
Francisco's meltdown spoiled a strong outing from lefty starter Ricky Romero, who limited the Yankees to a run on seven hits over seven innings.
Russell Martin had his ninth homer of the year and added a run-scoring single for the Yankees, who trailed 4-1 entering the eighth inning.
Toronto's J.P. Arencibia continued his hot hitting with an RBI single in defeat. The rookie catcher has driven in 12 runs over his last eight games, and leads all first-year AL hitters with 24 RBIs.
