 NEW YORK (AP) - Vernon Wells hit a three-run homer off Mike Mussina in a nine-run fifth inning, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 9-5 on Wednesday night to snap a five-game losing streak.
Russ Adams added a two-run double in the inning, when the Blue Jays scored eight times off Mussina in their biggest inning since a 9-run sixth against the Angels on June 15, 1999. They had seven hits off Mussina and Felix Rodriguez, and 10 consecutive batters reached with one out.
Mussina (12-8) hurt himself by allowing two walks and hitting a batter. He allowed eight runs in an inning for the first time since Sept. 24, 2003, against the Chicago White Sox, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
