Four hits from Chris Colabello helped Mark Buehrle end an 11-year winless drought against the New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays to a 5-1 victory at Rogers Centre.
Colabello finished 4-for-4 with an RBI and Russell Martin had three hits, including a solo homer, to enable the Blue Jays to take the rubber match of this three-game set. Ezequiel Carrera contributed a two-run single for Toronto.
Buehrle (4-2) lasted only five innings but held the Yankees to a run on six hits to best his nemeses for the first time since April 10, 2004. That previous win was the veteran's lone one in 15 career decisions against New York prior to Wednesday.
While Buerhle was able to stop his slide, CC Sabathia's personal winless stretch lingered on after the Yankee hurler was reached for four runs on nine hits over 6 1/3 innings.
Sabathia (0-5) has now been dealt seven losses in nine starts since defeating Boston on April 24, 2014.
