Sabathia Struggles as Yankees Fall to Blue Jays

Yunel Esccobar hit a two-run homer, three doubles and drove in five runs as Toronto beat the New York Yankees 8-5 Wednesday, ending CC Sabathia's five years of dominance over the Blue Jays.

Escobar had a go-ahead RBI double in the third. His homer against Sabathia in the sixth gave the Blue Jays the lead again and his two-run double off Joba Chamberlain in the ninth helped secure Toronto's first series win since July 27-29.

J.A. Happ (3-1) overcame a season-high five walks for the win and Casey Janssen pitched a perfect ninth for his 17th save.

Sabathia (13-4) was undefeated over his last nine starts against Toronto -- 8-0 with a 2.48 ERA -- since the beginning of his Cy Young Award season of 2007 with Cleveland.
