Alex Rodriguez returned to the field and lineup on his first day of eligibility, but the Blue Jays slugged three homers off Phil Hughes en route to a 7-3 win over the Yankees. The loss snapped an eight-game winning streak.
Best of All: A-Rod went 2-for-5 with an RBI in his return, inching closer to the 100-RBI plateau (98).
Brett Gardner and Ramiro Pena added two hits apiece; Gardner added a sac fly and Pena scored a run.
Worst of All: Hughes allowed two homers on 0-2 counts and the third came on a first-pitch cutter.
Derek Jeter and Curtis Granderson each went hitless in four ABs.
Coming Up: The Yankees stay at home to host the Orioles to start the week and will visit Texas over the weekend.
