he Skinny: Collins appears to have the Wildcats from LAM's blog
TORONTO -- Yankees slugger Mark Teixeira had a night to remember in his final
road game before retirement. Air max Outlet .Teixeira hit a tying homer in
the ninth inning, adding an uncharacteristic bat flip, and Aaron Hicks added a
game-winning blast as the New York Yankees avoided a four-game sweep, beating
the Toronto Blue Jays 7-5 on Monday night in a testy game that saw two
benches-clearing incidents.Leading 3-2 heading to the ninth, Blue Jays manager
John Gibbons called on Jason Grilli (7-6) to close it out because Roberto Osuna
was unavailable after pitching the previous two days.Teixeira tied it 3-all with
a one-out homer. After pausing to admire his second-deck drive and casually
flipping his bat, Teixeira yelled Blown save! at Grilli after returning to the
dugout.Our team has been fighting all year, Teixeira said. Were probably not
going to make the playoffs. Were just going to enjoy ourselves the rest of the
year and keep fighting.Didi Gregorius singled and Hicks followed with a two-run
homer.New York scored five runs in a bat-around ninth, matching their total from
the 35 previous innings in the series.Teixeiras homer was his 408th, passing
Duke Snider to take over 54th on baseballs all-time list. No better time to
bat-flip, right?(The Blue Jays) do it all the time, Teixeira said. They have fun
with it. Its the first time Ive ever done it, so Ill have fun with it too.Chase
Headley called the Blue Jays The Kings of Fun for their emotional reactions to
home runs and strikeouts.Youve got to take some of your medicine, Headley said.
They certainly have no shortage of emotion and, if you play like that, youve got
to expect to get some it back.The Yankees were still steamed at Toronto after
four New York players and coaches were ejected following two benches-clearing
incidents in the first two innings.New York starter Luis Severino was ejected in
the second after hitting Justin Smoak, sparking the second melee.The scrap came
after Toronto left-hander J.A. Happ threw consecutive inside pitches to Headley
in the top of the inning, hitting him with the second. That led to a warning
from plate umpire Todd Tichenor.If they feel like they need to protect their
guys, I respect that, Headley said. But if you do that, youre accepting the
consequences.Yankees manager Joe Girardi was ejected for arguing the warning.
New York pitching coach Larry Rothschild and bench coach Rob Thomson were
ejected along with Severino following the second melee.I was mad because Happ
hit him on purpose and he had one shot, Girardi said. You throw it behind the
guy and you miss, I mean, hes got to be tossed. Thats terrible, its
terrible.Donaldson, hit on the elbow by a pitch from Severino in the bottom of
the first, walked in from his position and exchanged words with the New York
dugout after Headley was hit.Both benches and bullpens cleared that time, too,
but no punches were thrown.Some teams have been taking pot shots at us all year
long and some guys just got tired of it, Gibbons said.After Dellin Betances
loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom of the ninth, Tommy Layne, the
eighth Yankees pitcher of the game, came on and got Donaldson to fly out. Edwin
Encarnacion walked to drive in a run and pinch-hitter Dioner Navarro delivered a
bloop single, making it 7-5. Layne forced Darwin Barney out at home plate on
Russell Martins grounder, then wrapped up his first save by getting Troy
Tulowitzki to foul out.Unbelievable job by Tommy, Girardi said.Adam Warren (7-4)
worked two innings for the win.Toronto still leads the AL wild card race, one
game ahead of Baltimore. The Orioles were off Monday.Making his first start
since Aug. 14 in place of injured right-hander Masahiro Tanaka (right forearm),
Severino was on a limit of 50 pitches. Instead, he was ejected after throwing
his 34th. Severino allowed one run and one hit, walked two and struck out
one.New Yorks late rally denied Happ his 21st win. Happ allowed two runs and six
hits in 7 1/3 innings.BIRD BACK IN ACTIONWith New York managing general partner
Hal Steinbrenner in attendance, Yankees 1B Greg Bird (right labrum surgery)
played for the first time in a year in an Instructional League intrasquad game
Monday in Tampa, Florida. Bird hit infield pop-ups in both of his at-bats. I
felt like I was seeing the ball well, Bird said. Now its just about getting
at-bats. It felt pretty good considering the circumstances.POWER DISPLAYMinor

Andrew Miller to Cleveland, has joined the Instructional League team and hit
