The Derek Jeter farewell tour makes its last stop in Toronto. It is as yet unclear if Ken Huckaby has been invited.
Mark Buehrle's major league record of 45 consecutive batters retired has been broken by Yusmeiro Petit, of all people. Petit, who is sort of the Giants version of Todd Redmond (long reliever and spot starter) retired the final man he faced in a spot start on July 22. He then retired all 37 batters he faced over six relief appearances before being called upon to make another start, in which he retired the first eight hitters before the opposing pitcher broke off his streak at 46 batters retired in a row. Buehrle's 45 in a row still stands as the AL record.
The Yankees have won 8 of their last 12 and sit three games behind Detroit and Seattle in the battle for the Wild Card game. It's too bad Sabathia, Pineda, Tanaka, and Nova missed so much time but... c'est la guerre. The Jays will see Pineda this weekend.
Capuano (0-2, 4.21) vs Buehrle (11-8, 3.41)
Pineda (3-2, 1.95) vs Hutchison (8-11, 4.68)
McCarthy (5-3, 2.47) vs Happ (8-8, 4.40)
