It’s hard to call this one a sweep because Wednesday’s game was cancelled but the Jays took the only game that was played against the Yankees yesterday and in the process, they won their third straight game. A.J. Burnett was fantastic on the mound and he gave up just four hits and four walks with five strikeouts in seven shutout innings.
At the plate, Vernon Wells went three for three with two walks, a run and an RBI in the 6-0 win. Alex Rios also had a nice game and he went two for four with three runs and an RBI. Frank Thomas singled and drove in two.
So the Jays now sit in second, but they’re three games back of the hot Red Sox. Fortunately, the Jays come home and they’ll play four against the Rangers in a wrap around series that’ll go through Monday. Josh Towers gets the start tonight and hopefully he’ll keep the winning streak going.
