Toronto battered David Wells at Yankee Stadium.

NEW YORK -- Carlos Delgado and Tom Wilson each hit a pair of RBI doubles to help the Toronto Blue Jays send the reeling New York Yankees to their sixth straight home loss, 5-2 Saturday.
New York has dropped 10 of 11 at Yankee Stadium for just the second time in franchise history and lost 10 of 13 overall to fall 11/2 games behind Boston in the AL East.
Cory Lidle won his seventh straight decision to become the majors' first eight-game winner, and Frank Catalanotto hit two of Toronto's seven doubles and scored twice.
The Blue Jays are 7-2 on their 10-game road trip and with a win today can sweep the Yankees for the first time in a four-game series.
With his team beginning the day out of first place for the first time this season, manager Joe Torre called a meeting before the game to try to spark his team.
"I sense because we have so many guys missing that guys are trying to do too much," Torre said. "It sounds so simple, but guys don't look like they're being as selective. It looks like they're trying too hard."
Bernie Williams and Nick Johnson are on the disabled list, Jorge Posada didn't start after being hit by pitches on the right foot the past two games and the healthy players are struggling.
David Wells (6-2) was battered around for five runs and nine hits in five-plus innings, leaving after allowing the first five batters to reach in the sixth.
The Yankees' offense wasn't much better, except for Alfonso Soriano, who had three hits and scored twice. He tripled and scored on Hideki Matsui's sacrifice fly in the sixth and hit a solo homer in the eighth.
