MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL  2009-09-05Yanks' bats go quiet for a night

TORONTO - Roy Halladay pitched a one-hitter to snap a three-start losing streak and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Yankees , 6-0, last night, ending New York's winning streak at seven games.

Aaron Hill doubled twice and had two RBIs and Adam Lind had three hits for the Blue Jays, who won for the first time in five games.

The AL East-leading Yankees lost for the first time on their current seven-game road trip. New York has won 14 of 18 away from home.

The complete game was the sixth of the season for Halladay (14-8), tying him with Kansas City's Zack Greinke for the major league lead, and the 46th of his career.

He struck out nine and walked three to win for the first time since Aug. 14 at Tampa Bay.

Halladay had matched a career high by losing three straight coming in but was sharp from the get-go in this one. The right-hander was perfect through the first 4 2/3 before walking Jorge Posada on a 3-2 pitch in the fifth. Unbothered, Halladay struck out Robinson Cano to end the inning.

Shortstop Ramiro Pena broke up Halladay's no-hit bid in the sixth with a one-out double into the right field corner. Johnny Damon popped out before walks to Eric Hinske and Mark Teixeira loaded the bases for Alex Rodriguez, who struck out looking.

That was the first of 10 straight outs by Halladay, who needed no help in closing things out.

The same could not be said of New York starter Joba Chamberlain (8-5). The right-hander allowed three runs and six hits in three innings and has not won in five starts. He threw 59 pitches, walked two and struck out two.

Chamberlain is 0-1 with a 6.39 ERA in three starts against the Blue Jays this season.

Derek Jeter and Nick Swisher got the day off. Jeter jammed a finger on his right hand diving for a ball Thursday but the injury is not considered serious.
