Despite losing ace Roy Halladay to injury, the Toronto Blue Jays managed to at least temporarily put the New York Yankees' party plans on hold.

While the Blue Jays (80-72) prevented a celebration from happening on their home-field and matched their win total from 2005 before a crowd of 33,029, the bigger concern was for Halladay, who left the game with a right forearm strain in the fourth inning.
