Yankees 3, Blue Jays 2: Pinch runner Antoan Richardson scored on an error in the ninth inning and Derek Jeter belted a solo homer to kick off his final homestand as New York kept its flickering postseason hopes alive.

Chris Young singled on the first pitch he saw from Aaron Sanchez (2-2) to lead off the ninth inning. Richardson entered the contest and promptly advanced to third on a stolen base and Brett Gardner's sacrifice bunt before coming home as Chase Headley slapped a grounder between the legs of first baseman Adam Lind.

Stephen Drew ripped an RBI double and matched Jeter with two hits for the Yankees, who have won two in a row and reside five games behind Oakland in the race for the second wild card in the American League with 10 to play. David Robertson (3-5) struck out a pair in the ninth to pick up the win while rookie Shane Greene scattered three hits over 6 2/3 scoreless innings in the start.

Jose Bautista forged a 2-2 tie by belting a two-run homer with two outs in the eighth inning for the Blue Jays, who have dropped five in a row to fall six games behind the Athletics. Jose Reyes collected two of his team's five hits.

New York snapped a scoreless tie in the fifth as Headley drew a two-out walk off R.A. Dickey before Drew brought him home with a double to right field. Jeter doubled the advantage in the following inning by sending a fastball into the seats in left for his fourth homer - and first at Yankee Stadium - before Bautista knotted it up in the eighth with his 33rd blast.
