Mark Teixeira added a hit and an RBI for the Yankees, who have won eight of their last nine.
A.J. Burnett (7-4), facing his former club for the second time in 2009, went seven innings for the win, scattering six hits and two runs, fanning seven with a pair of walks.

Rodriguez grounded into fielder's choice at home, then a passed ball scored Damon. Cano grounded into another fielder's choice at home, then Nick Swisher looked at a third strike to keep it 3-1.
Wells' blast with two down in the sixth cut Toronto's deficit to 3-2, but Rodriguez dumped a solo shot to right in the eighth off Jeremy Accardo to give New York an insurance run.
Phil Coke and Phil Hughes combined for a scoreless eighth and Rivera retired the side in order in the ninth to secure the victory.
Cano's leadoff homer in the second gave the Yanks an early lead, but the Jays knotted the score in the fourth as Lyle Overbay doubled and later scored on a Rios single.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
