Yeesh. Sorry for the late writeup...but after that game, I needed to get out and do something...and well, let the Labor Day Festivities commence so here's the late recap.
In any case, when you go up against Doc Halladay, you gotta score a few runs and pray that your pitching will hold up. Well, neither happened yesterday. The Jays scored 3 runs in the first and never looked back. With men on first and third with one out, Andy Pettitte gave up an RBI single to Vernon Wells. Rod Barajas stepped up to the plate next and launched a ball to left that Xavier Nady misplayed. Nady initially took a few steps in before getting a better read on the ball and sprinting back for it. At that point, it was too late and Barajas had "coasted" into second with a two-run double. 3-0 Blue Jays.
The Jays added a run in the second on a Rolen HR and a few more runs in the 7th on a double, single and wild pitch. The Yankees added a few runs on solo shots from A-Rod and Jason Giambi...but it was just too little, too late...
