C.C. Sabathia won his 19th game of the year—second only to Justin Verlander’s 21—and Derek Jeter singled and homered—one of three Yankees to go yard on the day—while collecting five RBIs as the Yankees downed Toronto, 9–4, to complete the three-game sweep and pull a game-and-a-half ahead of Boston in their ongoing duel for the pole position in the American League playoffs.
Jeter’s two hits (now at 3,066) were matched by Jesus Montero’s pair, giving the rookie catcher/DH three in his brief career, while Alex Rodriguez and Nick Swisher also left the yard—the Bombers lead the majors with now 193 four-baggers on the season.
