The Bronx Bombers and Blue Birds are back to 3.5 games back of the Charm City O's as the
'Jays survive early runs by the Yanks and some unexpected turbulence from Toronto's 5-Star Captain Save-A-Game Casey Janssen.
Then Bombers struck first with a "Bob the Builder" McCann Two-Run Round-Tripper off 'Jays Starter Drew Hutchison to make it 2-0 Bombers. the Blue Birds though not to be outdone came right back in their Top Half of the 5th tying the game on a Melky Cabrera run-scoring Double and a Steve Tolleson Sac-Fly off Yanks Starter Chris Capuano. The 'Jays took the lead 3-2 in the seventh when Dan Johnson singled home Cabrera to make it 3-2 'Jays. Both Starters Hutchison (6.2 IP) and Capuano (6 IP) went at least six before the Pens were asked to bring it home and that's when the real Fireworks started.
In the ninth 'Jays DH Johnson goes Three-Run "Tater" with the Blue Birds leading 3-2 as that made it 6-2 Toronto. That Bomb was off Yankees Reliever Jeff Francis. Then Yanks RF Carlos Beltran made his presence felt taking Janssen deep for a Two-Run Blast of his own as the 'Jays escape 6-4. Blue Birds move to 55-50 with the Bombers falling to 54-49 as they both chase the O's in the East!
