  Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - 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.
