Toronto Blue Jays 5 (W 54-57)

Shawn Camp (W, 1-5)
Sergio Mitre (L, 1-1)
Jason Frasor (SV, 5)
Game Notes:
In the midst of the big news of Alex Rios being shipped to the Chicago White Sox for nothing in return(except that the White Sox assumed every penny remaining on his contract), the Toronto Blue Jays ended the New York Yankees seven game winning streak, at New Yankee Stadium.
Blue Jays starting pitcher Marc Rzepczynski left the game early in the fourth inning, after allowing four runs on seven hits, three being home runs to Derek Jeter, Robinson Cano and Jerry Hairston Jr.
The Blue Jays bullpen was stellar as Shawn Camp, Brandon League, Jesse Carlson, and Jason Frasor combined to allow zero runs, on four hits while walking none, and striking out seven to save hold for the Blue Jays win.
Toronto's offense was sparked by a home run from Aaron Hill, an RBI triple from Joe Inglett and the go ahead and game winning home run from Lyle Overbay.
Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston was ejected from the game by home plate umpire Paul Schrieber.
Final starting pitching lines for the game:
Marc Rzepczynski - 3.1IP, 7H, 4R, 4ER, 1BB, 0K
Sergio Mitre - 5IP, 6H, 5R, 3ER, 1BB, 6K
