The New York Yankees played a better game on Wednesday than they did on Tuesday and they came away with a 5-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. Everyone in the Yankees lineup had atleast one hit except the Bobby Abreu on the night as they had a lot of production up and down the lineup.
Wilson Betemit had a solo home run in the game while Johnny Damon, Derek Jeter, Hideki Matsui, and Melky Cabrera all helped out with an rbi of their own. Good job by the Yankees offense putting the baseball in play and making things happen.
Mike Mussina picked up the win for the Yankees as he tossed six innings and gave up five hits and one run. Mussina was able to improve his record to 9-4 on the season and lower his era to 4.01.
Ross Ohlendorf, Kyle Farnsworth, and Mariano Rivera all tossed one scoreless inning in relief of Mussina. Rivera threw the ninth inning even though it wasn’t a save situation.
