YANKEES 1
BLUEJAYS 4



Monday afternoon marked the final homegame at Yankee stadium for this season, and it also marked a chance for the Yankees to pull within 1 game of the Red Sox for the division lead. Unfortunately, the Yanks looked flat, and lost 4-1 to Toronto, and fell to 2 games back with only 6 remaining.



Andy Pettitte (14-9) allowed four runs (three earned) and five hits in a game that Toronto never trailed, suffering just his second loss in a span of 11 starts. Unfortunatley for Pettitte, the Yankees decided to not hit at all.


The only offense for the Yankees came in the 6th inning, when Jeter had doubled to open the inning, extending his hitting streak to 11 games. Jeter made his way to 3rd base, and Alex Rodriguez tapped a ball in the infield to score Jeter for the Yanks only run.



The Yankees just looked flat, and like they didn’t want to play the game…when they should have been pumped up at the chance to pull within 1 game of the idle Red Sox. The only good news came when Detroit Tigers lost, and the Yankees magic number is now 1 to clinch the Wild Card.



GAME NOTES:
PETTITTE: 6IP, 5H, 3ER, 1SO
JETER: 1-4
