Jays recharged with Lind back in the lineup

The Rain out in Baltimore along with the train ride to the big apple recharged the Jays bats as flexed their muscles smacking three bombs in the game while the Yanks returned serve against the Jays as they hit 4 of them with Robertson Cano smacking two solo shots of starter Henderson Alvarez. In the end it took a Yorvit Torrealba single in the top of the 11th to setup the winning run as Mike McCoy came into pinch run and Derek Lowe tried to pick him off first base and mightily failed as he throw horrible and by the time the dust had settled McCoy was standing on third as Lowe was charged with a two base error. Adeiny Hechavarria stepped up with less than two and got the runner home from third as the Jays put 8 runs in a 8-7 victory over the Yanks which is the most in like three weeks since they last played the Yank and snapped a 7 game losing streak. The biggest hit of the night belonged to Colby Rasmus who to say he was struggling coming into the game would be an understatement to say the least as he had like struck out ten times in his last 9 games was an incredible 1 for 37 with 18 strike outs and even though he struck out twice in the game with the Jays down 7-5 in the top of the ninth he pumped a three run blast with two outs to give the Jays a 8-7 lead. To go with Colby's two hits as he had a single also Adeiny Hechavarria had hits and 2 RBIs while Yorvit Torrealba had three hits including his first homer as a Jay a two-run shot. Adam Lind made his return to the lineup in first at bat in over a month on a 1-1 count took David Phelps deep to lead off the second inning The Yanks lite Henderson Alvarez up like a christmas tree as they 4 runs on 5 hits and the two solo shots by Cano a walk and a k in only 3.1 innings and it looks like he has a leg injury so he maybe sitting down for an outing or two or more. Arron Laffey replaced him and gave up one hit over 2.2 innings pitched and it was a two-run blast to Nick Swisher in the fifth inning with one of the three walks on. The Jays bullpen retired 18 of the last 22 Yanks in the game and only two hits but one of them was to Derek Jeter on a 0-1 count to started the ninth inning with a homer off Casey Janssen who blow his second save in his last 3 opportunities after 15 straight saves and is falling victim to the lack of competitive games as he has only 5 opportunities in his 10 appearances in August. Darren Oliver bounced back with a two inning win where he only walked a bat and k'd three others in the game after not being sharp in his last few appearances Tom Mehegan
