The Blue Jays open the second half with a bang, scoring 8 runs in the 1st inning of their game against the Yankees, chasing Bartolo Colon after two-thirds of an inning. 3B Eduardo Nunez, filling in for Alex Rodriguez who underwent a knee operation during the All-Star break, commits a costly error that leads to 5 of the runs. The Yankees then close to within 9 – 7, but the Jays victimize the back end of their bullpen in the late innings to end up with an emphatic 16 – 7 win. The 16 runs and 20 hits are season bests for the Jays. Andruw Jones hits two homers in a losing cause, and SS Derek Jeter and DH Jorge Posada appear together in a game for the 1660th time, the all-time record for the Bronx Bombers, beating out Lou Gehrig and Tony Lazzeri. The Jays get a scare when All-Star Jose Bautista has to leave the game in the 4th inning with a twisted ankle, but the injury will turn out to be minor.
