Jorge Posada led the Yanks to their 7th straight win, going 4-5 with a HR and 4 RBIs in a 10-5 victory over the hapless Blue Jays. He became the 7th Yankee this season to hit 20 or more HRs, breaking the team record set in 1961 and 2004. The Yanks jumped out 4-0 in the first inning against rookie, Ricky Romero, and never looked back. Even with Yankee starter, Chad Gaudin, only going 3.2 innings after tiring in the 4th inning and giving up 3 runs, the Bombers were able to keep the offensive pressure on Toronto.
Alfredo Aceves picked up his 10th win, restoring order in the 4th by striking out Adam Lind with runners on 1st and 2nd. He tossed 2.1 innings, giving up 2 runs, 1 earned in the 6th. David Robertson, Brian Bruney and Damaso Marte each pitched a scoreless frame. ARod also paced the offense, going 2-4 with 2 RBIs.
With the win, the Yanks magic number to clinch the division is now 22. Derek Jeter went hitless in his pursuit of Lou Gehrig for the Yanks All Time hits.
Yankees Record: 86-48
