NEW YORK (AP) - A.J. Burnett quickly got the New York Yankees
back to their winning ways.

Burnett scattered six hits over seven innings, Robinson Cano and
Alex Rodriguez homered, and the Yankees opened the long holiday
weekend with a 4-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday.

Wearing jarring red caps as part of Major League Baseball's
Fourth of July weekend celebration, the Yankees rebounded from
Thursday night's 8-4 loss to Seattle for their eighth win in nine
games.

Burnett (7-4), who lost to his former team at Toronto on May 12,
allowed both runs, struck out seven and walked two. He got his
first three strikeouts on 96 mph fastballs, then rung up his final
four with curveballs in the low 80s.
