Travis Snider hit two of an AL record-tying six doubles in a seven-run fifth inning and the Toronto Blue Jays prolonged Alex Rodriguez’s search for his 600th homer in a 8-6 victory over the New York Yankees on Monday night.
Snider began the barrage of doubles with a leadoff hit against A.J. Burnett and finished it with a drive off Sergio Mitre. In between, Fred Lewis, Jose Bautista, Vernon Wells and Aaron Hill all doubled off Burnett (9-9).
Rodriguez returned to the comforts of Yankee Stadium after a homerless, seven-game road trip, but 600 still looms after an 0-for-5 night. A-Rod is 9 for 43 in 11 games since hitting No. 599 on July 22 against Kansas City.
