New York, Sept. 16 (UPI) -- Francisco Cervelli singled in Brett Gardner from third with one out in the ninth inning Wednesday, giving the New York Yankees a 5-4 win over Toronto.

The Yankees faced a 4-2 deficit going into the eighth, but Hideki Matsui tied it in that inning with a two-run homer and New York won in the ninth against Jason Frasor.

Frasor (6-3) gave up a lead-off single to Gardner in the ninth and Gardner stole second base. Derek Jeter grounded out to shortstop, moving Gardner to third, and Cervelli delivered the winning run with a base hit to left-center.

Mariano Rivera (3-2) got the win by working the top of the ninth. He allowed a bunt single by Travis Snider to open the inning, but the Blue Jays could not get the runner past first base.
