Rookie starter Ian Kennedy throws to first during tonight's game in Toronto. Kennedy pitched seven innings of one-hit ball, but got a no decision.

The New York Yankees fell tonight to the Toronto Blue Jays, 2-1, despite a brilliant performance by pitcher Ian Kennedy. Toronto won it on Frank Thomas' walk-off RBI single against relief pitcher Chris Britton, which scored Alex Rios from second.

Toronto scored its only other run in the first inning, on an RBI double by Thomas that Melky Cabrera nearly caught. Johnny Damon tied it with a home run in the sixth. A.J. Burnett pitched eight innings of one-run ball for the Blue Jays, while reliever Scott Downs escaped a jam in the top of the ninth to earn the win.

The Yankees now travel to Boston trailing the Red Sox by five and a half games in the American League East.
