The Yankees break the 3 game losing streak tonight with the win over the Blue Jays 5-1. Catcher Jorge Posada is back from the disabled list but is not in the starting lineup yet, backup catcher Jose Molina gave the Yankees an unexpected boost on offense. Wilson Betemit homered off Jesse Litsch. Derek Jeter passed Mickey Mantle on the Yankees all time list. Mussina pitched six innings to match Los Angeles Angels left-hander Joe Saunders for the league lead in victories. Jeter's single in the third inning put the Yankees ahead and gave him 2,416 hits, good for third place on the franchise list behind Babe Ruth (2,518) and Lou Gehrig (2,721). Marino River ended the ga,e with two K's looking nad a ground out to save the ga,e for Mussina.
