Ahh, now that was an up an down game for the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday afternoon against the New York Yankees.  Blue Jays close B.J. Ryan gave up three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning as the Yankees came back to beat the Blue Jays 9-8.  The big hit was a walk off two run home run by Jason Giambi that won it for the Yankees.

Ryan didn’t have his good stuff at all in the ninth inning.  Before the Giambi home run, Ryan got the first two outs of the inning but then gave up singles to Alex Rodriguez and Hideki Matsui.  Ryan’s record dropped to 1-2 on the season with the loss.

Blue Jays starting pitcher Dustin McGowan pitched 5 1/3 innings while giving up seven hits and five runs to get a no decision.

Matt Stairs had a huge day at the plate as he went 3-5 with five rbi including a two run home run, two run single, and a rbi ground rule double.  Lyle Overbay had the Blue Jays other two rbi in the game in the fifth inning with a two run double.

Jesse Litsch pitched 5 1/3 innings while giving up ten hits and four runs while taking the loss.  Litsch dropped to 7-2 on the year.  Just a bad game that was bound to happen sometime for him as he had been on a good run as of late.

Shawn Camp gave up one more run in relief before Scott Downs and Armando Benitez finished up the game for the Blue Jays on the mound.

The one run for the Blue Jays came in the sixth inning when Scott Rolen doubled and scored Alex Rios.  It was just a bad hitting night for the Jays.  Hopefully they will bounce back tomorrow against the Yankees and score more than one run.
