Yanks take series and secure winning roadtrip
The Yankees defeated the Toronto Blue Jays tonight by the score of 3-2.  I am not happy with the offense doing nothing against Brian Tallett but a win is a win.  CC Sabathia pitched great again tonight throwing 8 innings of 2 run ball.  He gave up  5 hits and 4 walks but also struck out 5.  He was in control all night.  Mo finished it off looking like the old MO 1-2-3 on 11 pitches with a strikeout to end the game. 
Hideki Matsui was the star of the game with the game winning homerun.  A-rod had no hits but was robbed of a double and just missed 2 homeruns driving the ball to the warning track and the wall.  Derek Jeter had a rbi single.  Francisco Cervelli continued to be impressive with a couple of hits and a nice tag out at home plate off a Gardner throw.  Johnny Damon had a double in the first inning to tie the Yankees team record for 10 consecutive games with a extra base hit.  He tied Don Mattingly and Paul O-Neill who also did the same thing.  Johnny will try to break the record tomorrow at home.  The Yankees will now head home for a long 10 game homestand and the chance to play well and keep moving forward and get healthy.
