This was a low key affair, as the Yankees fielded only half their normal lineup and none of their front-line pitchers. The Jays lost Doc in the fourth, but the bullpen was able to keep the Yankees under control and ultimately coasted through a comfortable 5 2/3, even though there were more walks than strikeouts.
Star of the game: Bengie Molina's homer in the fourth started the jays scoring in the fourth, all the runs they were to need.
Unsung Hero: Aaron Hill had a couple of hits and an all-round excellent night in the field.

The Doc Prognosis: There's a good chance that's it for HLH this year. "I would doubt he would pitch any more," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "It seems to me that there would be no need to." With his velocity well down all night, Doc felt some tightness in his right forearm in the fourth yesterday after a quick chat with Arnsberg and Poulis left the game. It was a forearm strain that forced him to miss some a start in April and he'll have an MRI today.
It's been a typically great year for Halladay, for the greater part of an ultimately disappointing saeson watching him every fifth day was easily the best part of following the Jays.
