05/12: Halladay Dominates, 5 Hits Yankees; Blue Jays Win, 5-1
Posted by: Patrick
Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay took on his old battery mate, A.J. Burnett, on Tuesday night in Burnett's first start back in Toronto since leaving the franchise to join the Yankees.
Halladay took this one, needing just 103 pitches to set the Yankees down, throwing a complete game five hitter. He allowed just one run, which came on an A-Rod RBI single in the seventh. Beyond that, it was all goose eggs.
Burnett wasn't awful, but 5 earned runs over 7 and 2/3 wasn't going to get the job done today. He allowed 7 hits and walked 4. Jose Veras pitched the final out of the eighth.
Johnny Damon continued his hot hitting as the only Yankee to have 2 hits. A-Rod, Melky and Ramiro Pena had the other hits.
Andy Pettitte (2-1, 4.38) will go against Scott Richmond (4-1, 3.29) tomorrow at 7:07 PM ET.
Recap records: Patrick: 9–5, Seamus: 5–8, Andrew: 1–4.
