NEW YORK -- The way manager Joe Girardi described it, for weeks Bryan Mitchell was throwing from a chair with his injured foot elevated just to keep his arm in shape down in lonely Florida.Boy, are the Yankees happy Mitchell didnt have to sit out all season.Mitchell earned his first major league win, combining with Luis Severino and Tyler Clippard to shut down the dangerous Toronto Blue Jays, and New York kept up its surprising surge with a 2-0 victory Wednesday night that completed a three-game sweep.After the whole season, what I went through, tonights very rewarding, Mitchell said. Its been my goal all year to get back here.Starlin Castro homered and Brian McCann had an RBI single for the Yankees, who have won four straight and 10 of 14. They closed within 2 1/2 games of Baltimore for the second AL wild card and are 4 1/2 behind first-place Boston in the AL East.Weve been playing playoff baseball really since about Aug. 1, Girardi said. We keep getting closer, and thats the idea here. And its been fun.The skidding Blue Jays dropped out of first place for the first time since Aug. 12. They fell a game behind new division leader Boston, which won 7-2 in San Diego.Were right in it. We just need either a big play or a big hit somewhere to get us going back in the right direction, catcher Russell Martin said. Youre not going to see any panic from me.Marcus Stroman (9-7) struck out eight in five innings but the Blue Jays lost for the fifth time in six games. They were swept for the third time this season, first since May 16-18 by Tampa Bay.Torontos power-packed lineup has been blanked on six occasions this year, three at Yankee Stadium.Making an unexpected run at the playoffs after trading several veteran stars for prospects this summer, the youth-infused Yankees (73-65) climbed a season-best eight games above .500. They were finally able to finish off a sweep, too.The Yankees had lost in each of their previous seven attempts at a series sweep of at least three games and were 2-9 in those situations this season before wiping out the Blue Jays.Were playing really good baseball. Were excited for this last month, McCann said.Helped by two double plays, Mitchell (1-0) yielded four hits over five-plus innings in his fourth career start and first major league outing this season. The 25-year-old right-hander pitched in place of injured rookie Chad Green.It feels weird coming back at this point in the season, Mitchell said.Mitchell was promoted Tuesday from Triple-A after missing much of the year because of an injury to his left big toe sustained late in spring training. He entered 0-3 in the majors, working mostly in relief for New York over the past two years, but became the third Yankees rookie to have a scoreless start in the past three-plus weeks.I dont think you could ask for any more, Girardi said.A leadoff double by Devon Travis in the sixth ended Mitchells night before Severino tossed three innings of one-hit ball.Travis got caught breaking for third on Josh Donaldsons comebacker and was tagged out in a rundown. Severino was aided by a replay reversal in the seventh, and Edwin Encarnacion flied out to the right-field wall with a runner on to end the eighth.Clippard, filling in as the closer with Dellin Betances and Adam Warren unavailable, struck out two in a perfect ninth to finish the five-hitter. His only other save this season came with Arizona before he was traded back to New York.Castro hit his 20th homer with two outs in the third. Didi Gregorius doubled, Mark Teixeira walked and McCann singled sharply to right field.HOW SWEEP IT ISIt was New Yorks first sweep of a division foe since July last year against Baltimore, and its first of the Blue Jays since June 2014, also at Yankee Stadium.SPREADING IT AROUNDThree different pitchers earned saves in the series, and four have saves in New Yorks last six wins. Clippard became the AL-high eighth reliever to get a save for the Yankees this year, matching a franchise record.TRAINERS ROOMBlue Jays: LHP Francisco Liriano (back) was unavailable. ... Martin (left knee) was lifted for a pinch hitter in the ninth.Yankees: Rookie catcher Gary Sanchez was given the night off. RF Aaron Judge also was rested before entering on defense in the seventh. Sanchez and Judge will be back in the starting lineup Thursday, Girardi said. ... Betances probably will be unavailable again Thursday, Girardi said. The big closer threw 40 pitches Tuesday, his third straight day of work.UP NEXTBlue Jays: Following an off day, Toronto begins a pivotal, three-game series Friday night at home against Boston. RHP Marco Estrada (8-7, 3.56 ERA) starts the opener for the Blue Jays against Rick Porcello (19-3, 3.23), the major league leader in wins.Yankees: LHP CC Sabathia (8-12, 4.20) pitches Thursday night in the opener of a four-game series against last-place Tampa Bay.

Fake Nike Shoes From China . -- On the field, it was business as usual for Jameis Winston and No. Hawthorn champion Sam Mitchell has expressed interest in joining AFL rivals West Coast.The star midfielder, a member of four premiership-winning teams across 307 games with the Hawks, has been secretly working on the move for weeks on the back of a suggestion from coach Alastair Clarkson.A couple of weeks ago, it was actually Brownlow day, Clarko [Clarkson] came over, and to be honest Clarko has just been so honest and such a good friend for such a long time, hes in a sense looking out for me, Mitchell told SEN Breakfast with Frank and Ox.He came over to my house on Brownlow day and said, look I know you want to go into coaching, youre not going to play forever with Hawthorn, would it be something youd be interested in to maybe go and play there for a little bit and then go into coaching?You could have knocked me over with a feather at the point as youd imagine, but we chatted for about an hour, really just chatting away about life and where were going to finish up, about where Hawthorns list was at and what Im gonna do with my future.Mitchell said there was still much to be discussed and plenty to play out if he was to leave the Hawks, but revealed he and his wife had always planned to move away at some point.If this goes through because theres no certainty to it, I mean its still earrly in trade period and all those things, Mitchell said.dddddddddddd?But I guess the way we look at it, if it could be a win for Hawthorn and help free up some salary cap stuff and not have to move on all the guys that are being talked about at the moment; and hopefully I can go over and help West Coast if thats what happens.Its in a bit of a funny spot to be honest because if I stay at Hawthorn thats okay because Ive had a great career there and will continue to do so.?If I move to West Coast then Id be really excited by something new and a new prospect; and I feel like Ive done the right thing by Hawthorn if thats what eventuates.His future in a limbo of sorts, Mitchell said he wasnt really leaning either way at this point.At the moment I cant mentally commit to either; so the last two weeks Ive had one foot in either camp, its been a bit awkward, he told SEN.But these are the things, its the first time in my 15-year career that Ive ever been in this position with anything even slightly remotely a chance to be in a trade.?So its a bit of an awkward situation and I cant really jump into either camp at the moment until something happens one way or the other.
