Baseball Betting Lines

07/04/2009 - Bronx, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jorge Posada's single in the bottom of the 12th inning lifted the New York Yankees to a 6-5 win over Toronto in the second of a four-game set from Yankee Stadium.

Posada also hit a homer and finished with two RBI, Johnny Damon hit a two-run homer, Hideki Matsui added a solo blast and Alex Rodriguez also drove in a run for the Yankees, who have taken the first two games of the series and have won nine of their last 10 contests.

Brett Tomko (1-2) pitched a scoreless inning for the win. Starter Chien-Ming Wang was charged with six hits and four runs over 5 1/3 innings before leaving due to injury.

Alex Rios collected two hits and drove in three runs for the Blue Jays, losers in six of their last seven. Adam Lind homered and knocked in a pair while Marco Scutaro hit safely twice and scored once in defeat.

Shawn Camp (0-4) took the loss, charged with the deciding run on two hits despite four strikeouts over 2 1/3 innings. Roy Halladay was tagged for nine hits, including three homers, and five runs in his seven-inning start.

Camp issued a leadoff double to Mark Teixeira, then intentionally walked Rodriguez. Robinson Cano attempted to sacrifice both runners, but Raul Chavez threw to third for the first out before Posada plated Rodriguez with a base hit to center.

The Yanks picked up a run in the first as Damon walked with one out, moved to second on a groundout and scored on a single from Rodriguez.

Toronto struck with a pair in the second when a Rios single brought in Vernon Wells and Lyle Overbay, but Matsui evened the score in the home half with his 12th home run of the season.

Posada led off the fourth with a homer which gave New York a 3-2 edge, but Wang gave that right back in the sixth, allowing a leadoff double to Scutaro and a two-run homer to Lind. David Robertson was summoned but walked both Scott Rolen and Overbay before striking out Wells. Rios then singled home Rolen and the Jays led 5-3.

Jeter singled with one out in the seventh and Damon tied the game with a two- run shot.

Jesse Carlson retired Cano on a grounder with two on and two out in the ninth to send the game to extra innings.
