Blue Jays (64-60)

Scouting Report:
Yankees: Ponson gave the Yankees another quality start on Saturday against the Royals, holding Kansas City to two runs and seven hits through 6 1/3 innings. It marked his fourth straight start of at least six innings. He worked himself out of jams and effectively used his sinker to come up with groundouts. Ponson kept his team in the game long enough to come away with a no-decision. The righty has not allowed more than four earned runs in each of his past four starts, but he has been the victim of a lack of run support, as the Yankees have not scored more than three runs in any of those outings.

Blue Jays: Halladay was in top form on Saturday, limiting the Red Sox to one run on seven hits en route to his Major League-leading eighth complete game of the season. The lone run Halladay surrendered came via a solo homer by Boston's Dustin Pedroia in the ninth inning. Halladay finished with four strikeouts, one walk and 12 outs via ground ball in the 109-pitch effort. Dating back to June 30, Halladay is 6-3 with a 1.81 ERA in nine starts, during which he's amassed 59 strikeouts and 13 walks across 69 2/3 innings. Halladay is 12-5 with a 2.88 ERA in 29 career games against the Yankees.
