Jays not able to recover from a 7 run fourth inning

Going into the bottom of the fourth the Jays had a loose 2-1 lead and then it fell in for Arron Laffy who walked two in the inning around a fielding error by Kelly Johnson and left with the bases loaded. Brad Lincoln came in to face Ichiro who came in with a 8 for 9 in the series and just put the Yanks on the board in his first at bat with a solo homer in the bottom 3 and then came through with a two-run double off Lincoln. In the bottom of the fourth ended with a bang as Nick Swisher slammed the Yanks 10Th grand slam of the season to give the 8-2 lead. The Jays started a comeback with two-run fifth with a Moses Sierra two-run homer after he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and then Brett Cecil gave those runs in the bottom of the inning as Jayson Nix got a RBI double and Derek Jeter had a RBI single. Kelly Johnson had a solo homer to start a three-run eighth inning to close the lead to 10-7 and then were unable to get any closer to the Yanks but his big at bat was in the top of the third when they were up 2-1 with the bases loaded and struck out to end the inning. The Jays got two more runs in the inning with a Brett Lawrie RBI single to Derek Jeter that eat him up and Mike McCoy grounded into a force out at second of Brett Lawrie. Arron Laffy in 3 inning plus and only gave up two hits and gave up 5 runs (4 earned) and his 5 walks really hurt himself and only got 3ks but Jason Frasor pitched ann inning and gave up a single and a walk and Joel Carreno pitched the final two innings and only gave up a walk to go with 5 ks. For the Yanks sack went 5 innings and throw 102 pitches and gave four runs on 4 hits and walked 3 but it was his career high in ks that also pushed up his pitches as he k'd 9 Jays in the game. O Joy Yunel Escobar is coming back tomorrow let see if he see the Rogers Centre there is a week before these two meet again Tom Mehegan
