NEW YORK -- J.A. Happ pitched 7 1/3 innings and became the first 17-game winner in the major leagues Wednesday afternoon as the Toronto Blue Jays held on for a 7-4 victory over the New York Yankees.
Melvin Upton Jr. hit a three-run homer for the Blue Jays, who have scored 19 runs since Tuesday's 42-minute rain delay. Ezequiel Carrera had an RBI double, Darwin Barney had a two-run double and Russell Martin added an RBI single as Toronto became the sixth team to win five straight series against the Yankees in New York.
Happ (17-3) allowed three home runs for the second time this season and sixth time in his career.
