Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - Yankees closer Mariano Rivera tied the record for most saves in a career on Saturday when he notched his 601st in New York's 7-6 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. Rivera worked a perfect ninth inning for his 42nd save of the season, and tied Trevor Hoffman's mark for the most all-time with 601. Entering in the ninth to protect the one-run edge, Rivera caught Colby Rasmus looking at a third strike, then got Brett Lawrie on a grounder to first before Eric Thames l

Alex Rodriguez returned to the Yankee lineup after a six-game absence and helped New York roar back from a 6-1 deficit with a three-run homer in the sixth inning. He finished 2-for-4 and Gr
Colon goes for Yanks north of the border Sat Sep 17 11:12:53 2011 EST
(Sports Network) - Bartolo Colon tries for his first win in eight starts this afternoon when the New York Yankees continue a three-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. Colon did not get a decision last Friday against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, but was terrific, as he allowed just an unearned run and six hits in seven innings of a 2-1 loss. "Every time I pitch, I try to go more than seven innings," Colon said through an interpreter. "That's my goal. That's what I'm al
Blue Jays to start McGowan against Yankees Fri Sep 16 17:00:38 2011 EST
Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - The Toronto Blue Jays made a pitching change before Friday's series opener against the New York Yankees. Dustin McGowan will start in place of left-hander Brett Cecil, who was scratched after sustaining a cut on his left index finger. The right-handed throwing McGowan will be opposed by New York's CC Sabathia. McGowan (0-0) has compiled a 9.00 ERA in two appearances this season for Toronto after not pitching in the majors since July 2008 because of shoulder injuri
Sabathia shoots for 20 as Yankees visit Jays Fri Sep 16 11:18:23 2011 EST
(Sports Network) - It could be a historic night for a pair of New York Yankees this evening when the American League East leaders begin a three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. Mariano Rivera enters the contest one save shy of tying the all-time record of 601 set by Trevor Hoffman, while CC Sabathia will be trying to become the first Yankee pitcher to post back-to- back 20 win seasons since Tommy John (1978-79). Sabathia, the first American League pitcher with 19 or m
Ortiz out with back spasms Wed Sep 14 13:05:21 2011 EST
Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz will not play in Wednesday's series finale with the Toronto Blue Jays because of back spasms. Ortiz was pulled in the first inning of Tuesday's 18-6 victory with the issue. As a result, Ryan Lavarnway will be inserted into the lineup as the DH, batting sixth, while second baseman Dustin Pedroia will bat cleanup. The 35-year-old Dominican will have a seat despite the fact that he is a lifetime .345 hitter with a .424 on-base per
Red Sox go for sweep of Jays Wed Sep 14 11:05:23 2011 EST
Red Sox certainly looked like a team that was tired of hearing about a potential collapse down the stretch. Less than 24 hours after posting their highest run total of the season, the Red Sox seek a sweep of a quick two-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays. Boston headed into last night's opener on a five-game slide, its longest since beginning the season 0-6. The club also returned home after winning just once on a seven-game road trip, including losses in three of four at Toronto from Sept.
Wakefield takes another crack at win No. 200 versus Jays Tue Sep 13 10:54:49 2011 EST
has the club's grip on a playoff spot getting weaker and weaker. The Red Sox hope a return to Fenway Park -- and possibly Tim Wakefield's 200th career victory -- can get the club back on track tonight in the first of two straight versus the Toronto Blue Jays. Boston's current five-game slide is the club's longest since it opened the season 0-6. The Red Sox won just twice in their first 12 games before finally hitting their stride and taking over first place in the American League East by late M
