Alex Gonzalez got even, hitting a go-ahead single in the 11th inning after failing to get a call in his previous at-bat, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 6-1 Friday to end a five-game losing streak.
Gonzalez singled for a 2-1 lead and Dewayne Wise’s bases-loaded triple capped a five-run burst.
Robbed by left fielder Brett Gardner’s catch in the eighth, Gonzalez came up again in the ninth with two outs, a runner on first and the score 1-1. Gonzalez appeared to be hit in the left forearm with a pitch from Mariano Rivera and grabbed at the nicked spot, but plate umpire Mark Wegner ruled it a foul ball.
Toronto manager Cito Gaston came out to argue and Wegner consulted with two umpires before letting the call stand. Rivera struck out Gonzalez with the next pitch.
