TORONTO — After three straight subpar starts, Roy Halladay was back to being dominant yesterday.

Halladay pitched a one-hitter to snap a three-start losing streak and the Toronto Blue Jays ended New York's winning streak at seven games, 6-0.

"If we gave up one, we wouldn't have won tonight," said Yankees manager Joe Girardi, whose team was shut out for the fifth time this season.

The 2003 AL Cy Young Award winner, Halladay struggled with his command in recent outings but had no such trouble against the Yankees, striking out nine and walking three to win for the first time since Aug. 14 at Tampa Bay.

"To feel like, at any moment, I could make a pitch if I had to makes a big difference," Halladay said.

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's just a cut above a lot of other people," Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston said.

INDIANS 5, TWINS 2

Jeremy Sowers (6-9) allowed two runs, six hits and didn't walk a batter over six innings, and rookie Michael Brantley had two hits and his first career RBI, to lead host Cleveland over Minnesota, which committed a season-high four errors.

RANGERS 5, ORIOLES 1

Scott Feldman (15-4) gave up one run and four hits in 6 2/3 innings to improve to 11-1 on the road, matching the Texas club record for road wins in a season, and Nelson Cruz hit his 31st home run as the Rangers beat Baltimore for their fourth straight victory.

TIGERS 4, RAYS 3

Justin Verlander picked up his 16th win of the season, Adam Everett hit a tiebreaking RBI single during a three-run ninth and AL Central-leading Detroit held on to beat Tampa Bay, which scored two runs in the bottom half of the inning off closer Fernando Rodney.

WHITE SOX 12, RED SOX 2

Mark Kotsay homered and had three RBIs against his former team, Chris Getz went 4 for 5 and host Chicago hammered out 20 hits and batted around in the third and fourth innings to rout Boston.

ANGELS 2, ROYALS 1

Jered Weaver (14-5) allowed one run and nine hits over seven innings and Vladimir Guerrero hit a two-run single in the eighth inning off Kansas City's beleaguered bullpen, lifting visiting Los Angeles. Royals fill-in starter Robinson Tejeda allowed a hit in 5 1/3 scoreless innings.

MARINERS 6, ATHLETICS 3

Jose Lopez homered, Ichiro Suzuki had two hits to move within four of 2,000 for his career, and Ryan Rowland-Smith (3-2) pitched eight innings for his first win since Aug. 9 as visiting Seattle beat Oakland.
