[September 04, 2009]  TORONTO (AP) -- Jorge Posada homered and drove in four runs, Alex Rodriguez also homered and the New York Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays 10-5 Thursday night for their seventh straight victory.

The AL East leaders won for the 14th time in 17 road games. Toronto lost its fourth in a row.

Posada's homer was his 20th, giving New York a major league-leading seven players with at least that many -- it's the first time the Yankees have done that in team history.

Posada went 4 for 5 and hit his 340th career double, moving past Bob Meusel into ninth place on the team's all-time list.

Rodriguez's homer, a solo shot in the ninth, was his 24th this season and 50th overall against Toronto. He has 577 lifetime.
