Somehow, Sergio Mitre has now made four starts against the Blue Jays, despite having made only eight starts this season. His ERA against the team, including tonight's start? 10.59. By comparison, his ERA in his four other starts is 4.63. His line tonight? 5 IP, 7 ER, 8 H, 7 ER, 1 BB, 2 K. He's 3-3 now - all 3 losses have come against, you guessed it, Toronto.

Meanwhile, the Yankees were stranding base runners like crazy against Roy Halladay. 11 hits, 1 walk, 6 innings... 2 ER. They both came on singles. Brett Gardner brought in Jorge Posada and Derek Jeter scored Nick Swisher.

The Yankees bullpen wasn't all that great, either. Though, to be fair, it was the trio of Edwar Ramirez, Mark Melancon and Michael Dunn. All 3 pitched 1.1 innings and all 3 allowed 1 ER.

The Yankees picked up runs in the eighth and ninth innings, thanks to a Gardner double to score Posada and a Hideki Matsui single to bring Mark Teixeira home after a triple.

When Posada scored the second time, Bryan Hoch reports that he brushed Blue Jays' pitcher Jesse Carlson. This came after a Carlson pitch went behind Posada, which caused both benches to clear for a short time. Punches were thrown and there were some cuts and bruises (Joe Girardi came away with a small cut). Both Posada and Carlson were ejected. Read more on the Brawl.

Though the Yankees pitchers hit two batters, the Yankees had 2 more hits (15 to 13) and the same number of walks (3) and, yet, 6 less runs. Jeter, Teixeira (triple), Matsui, Cano, Swisher (2 doubles) and Gardner (double) all had 2 hits. Jeter's RBI was number 64 as he tries to become the seventh Yankee with 20 homers and 70 RBI. The Yankees magic number remains at 12.

Tomorrow at 7:05 PM ET, Chad Gaudin (1-0, 3.42 with the Yankees, 5-10, 4.81 overall) will get the start against Brian Tallet (7-9, 5.26).

Recap records: Seamus: 44–23, Patrick: 38–19, Andrew: 11–11
