Happ outduels CC as Blue Jays edge Yanks

NEW YORK — Edwin Encarnacion drove in a pair of runs with a third-inning single, which proved to be sufficient for J.A. Happ, whose sterling effort helped lift the Blue Jays to a 3-1 victory over the Yankees on Thursday at Yankee Stadium.
The Blue Jays took two out of three games in the series despite being limited to just two hits by resurgent left-hander CC Sabathia, who did not permit an earned run over seven innings and struck out seven with a walk.
Happ was just as sharp, holding New York to Starlin Castro’s first-inning home run among three hits over seven innings. The left-hander walked three and struck out five, defeating the Yankees for the second time this season.
MOMENTS THAT MATTEREDTimely hitting: The Blue Jays entered play on Thursday ranked second-last in the American League with a .216 average with runners in scoring position, but the first opportunity the club was presented with in the series finale went Toronto’s way. With the bases loaded and two outs in the third, Encarnacion came through with a single to left, which scored two and gave Toronto an early 2-1 lead. It was the second consecutive game with an RBI for Encarnacion after he went four consecutive games without one earlier this week.
