Toronto Defeated By Yankees, 5-1
Nate Merritt never let Toronto get something going. The New York right-hander commanded his slider in pitching the Yankees to a 5-1 win. At 75-54, the Yankees find themselves in first place in the American League East Division.

In the bottom of the eighth, Nick Maruschak stood in the box, looking for a pitch to hammer. The Blue Jays were trailing 4-1, but had runners on 1st and 2nd. That's when Bryan Fraley made a terrific pitch and Maruschak struck out. Gone was the dream of a Toronto comeback.
