Blue Jays use long ball to beat New York 5-4, snapping Yankees’ 7-game winning streak

Overbay, Hill send Blue Jays to win over Yankees

NEW YORK — Lyle Overbay and Aaron Hill hit solo homers, and the Toronto Blue Jays bullpen shut down the high-powered New York offense in a 5-4 victory Monday night that snapped the Yankees’ seven-game winning streak.

Overbay drove in two runs, and Edwin Encarnacion and Joe Inglett also drove in runs for the Blue Jays, who played an inspired game about 30 minutes after learning that teammate Alex Rios had been claimed off waivers by the Chicago White Sox.

Shawn Camp (1-5) picked up the win in relief of ineffective starter Marc Rzepczynski, who allowed three homers and didn’t make it out of the fourth. The Blue Jays bullpen allowed four hits over 5 2-3 shutout innings, helping Toronto win for just the third time in 10 tries against the Yankees this season.
