Currently the Yankees are 45-33 and just three games behind the first place Red Sox. They're also two games ahead of Tampa in the Wild Card race.Besides yesterday's disappointing performance from CC Sabathia, a lot has gone right for the Yanks lately. Hopefully they can keep it up.

I know games in July are never must-wins, but it's very important that the Yankees go into the break on a high note.At 42-38 the Blue Jays are still in the mix. They trail the Red Sox by seven games in the division and the Yanks by four in the Wild Card. They've stumbled a bit lately and head into this series losers of five of their last seven.The go...

In seven innings Burnett allowed two runs on six hits, walked two, struck out seven, and threw 68 of his 112 pitches...
