By the third inning, they had lost every penny of it. Chien-Ming Wang had the worst start of his career as the Yankees were thumped 15-4 before a crowd of 40,811 at the Rogers Centre. The Yankees hit three long home runs off Toronto ace Roy Halladay and it hardly mattered as Wang allowed eight runs on nine hits and was unable to get through the third inning. The Blue Jays finished with 16 hits off Wang and three relievers and matched a franchise record with nine doubles. The 15 runs matched the most the Yankees have allowed this season. "We've won so often we know we're good at this point in time," manager Joe Torre said. "You go from now to the end of the season, you know you're not going to win every ballgame. It wouldn't have made us feel any better losing 2-1, that's for sure." The one-day disaster could have been worse. With Detroit losing 7-1 against Tampa Bay, the Yankees remain only a half-game out in the American League wild-card race. They have today off before starting a three-game series in Cleveland tomorrow night. The Yankees, who had won five straight, were without Alex Rodriguez. He has a bruised left calf, the result of a retaliation pitch from Toronto's Josh Towers on Tuesday night. The Yankees hope he will be ready to face the Indians. With how Wang (13-6), pitched, it was a good night for Rodriguez to have off. Wang was 10-1 over his last 13 starts and said on Tuesday that he was looking forward to facing Halladay, a fellow sinker-ball specialist. But the right-hander was bad from the start as the first four Toronto batters had hits and the Blue Jays took a 3-0 lead. "The ball was up and in the middle," said Wang, who believes his arm angle was off. "All game." The Yankees gave Wang a chance to keep them in the game when Jason Giambi singled and Robinson Cano homered deep to right field in the second, the first of two he would hit off Halladay. Giambi was 1 for 4 as the designated hitter in his first start since coming off the disabled list. But Wang took the Yankees out of it, giving up five runs in the third inning before being relieved by Jeff Karstens with two outs. Wang walked slowly off the field after Torre came to the mound. There were a group of fans behind the dugout waving small Taiwanese flags but he did not look up at them. It was the first time in 71 career starts that Wang failed to pitch at least four innings. The eight runs were also the most he has ever allowed. Wang said it was his worst start since 2004 when he gave up 10 runs in one inning while pitching for Double-A Trenton. "I have to forget about it and work in the bullpen," he said. "Bad game." Vernon Wells had three hits and four RBI. Frank Thomas had two of the nine doubles, a single and three RBI. Gregg Zaun, Aaron Hill and John McDonald drove in two runs each. "You don't see that from Wang much," Johnny Damon said. "We won the series, so we have to be proud of that. We can just forget this game." Halladay (13-5) went seven innings, allowing four runs on six hits. He walked one and struck out eight. With his team up 14-2 in the seventh, Halladay was just trying to throw strikes and Hideki Matsui and Cano homered. Matsui's shot, to dead center field, gave him 23 homers and 80 RBI on the season. He is second on the team behind Rodriguez (36 homers, 109 RBI) in both categories.
