Jays win 7-3 to snap Yankees' 8-game win streak
By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer NEW YORK (AP) -- Aaron Hill and Vernon Wells each hit two-run homers and the Toronto Blue Jays spoiled Alex Rodriguez's return to the New York lineup, beating the Yankees 7-3 on Sunday to halt their eight-game winning streak. Rodriguez had been out since Aug. 20 with a strained left calf, but the Yankees sure didn't seem to miss him. They were riding their longest winning stretch of the season and 11-3 since he went on the disabled list, carrying a 2 1/2-game lead over Tampa Bay in the AL East into Sunday. The three-time AL MVP had a pair of hits and drove in a run, but he also grounded out with a runner aboard in the first, dribbled one back to the pitcher with two on in the third, and struck out looking with a runner on third base to end the game.
