TORONTO, Aug. 8 (UPI) -- Vernon Wells had three of Toronto's 16 hits and drove in four runs Wednesday, boosting the Blue Jays to a 15-4 whipping of the New York Yankees.
Frank Thomas doubled twice and had three RBI while Lyle Overbay scored three times.
There was no carryover from the hard feelings that flared Tuesday when New York's Alex Rodriguez was hit by a pitch, causing both benches to empty. Rodriguez sat out Wednesday night's game with a sore calf.
Roy Halladay benefited from the offensive attack, winning his fifth straight start at home. Halladay (13-5) gave up four runs on six hits in seven innings while striking out eight.
The loss went to Chien-Ming Wang (13-6), who surrendered eight runs on nine hits while retiring eight batters.
New York had won its previous five games.
