Blue Jays 7, Yankees 6: Jose Reyes doubled and scored on an error in the ninth inning to lift host Toronto to its second straight win over New York.
The Yankees rallied from a 6-0 deficit with a run in the sixth and five in the seventh, but Reyes began the ninth against Adam Warren (1-4) with a line drive to right field before racing all the way around when Melky Cabrera laid down a bunt and Yankees third baseman Yangervis Solarte threw the ball away. The rally made a winner of Casey Janssen (2-0), who struck out Mark Teixeira with a runner on third base to end the top of the ninth.
Dioner Navarro hit a three-run homer and Colby Rasmus drove in a pair of runs with a single for the Blue Jays, who clinched their first series win in their last six. Starter Mark Buehrle allowed four runs on eight hits in 6 2/3 innings after blanking the Yankees for the first five frames.
Navarro's blast in the fourth started the scoring while Rasmus' single and an error in the fifth doubled the lead. Derek Jeter got the Yankees on the board in the sixth with his second homer of the season and Brian Roberts' two-run shot an inning later ignited the five-run rally.
New York tied it when Teixeira grounded one up the middle and Reyes threw the ball away, allowing Jeter and Jacoby Ellsbury to race home. Dellin Betances got an out at home and a strikeout to help escape a bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the eighth before Janssen wiggled out of trouble in the ninth and Reyes set up the game-winning run moments later.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Blue Jays RF Jose Bautista missed his second straight game due to a sore hamstring. ... Ellsbury had two hits and an RBI for New York, which has lost four straight. ... Yankees starter David Phelps gave up six runs in five innings while striking out seven.
