NEW YORK -- Derek Jeter stood on the dugout steps, stone-faced as a statue, when Ichiro Suzuki approached after rounding with the bases with his first home run since last August. Thaddeus Young Jersey . Only when the Japanese star was inches away did the New York Yankees captain crack a wide smile and offer a fist bump. Suzuki hit a go-ahead, three-run drive in the third inning against Mark Buehrle, and the Yankees overcame an early deficit to beat the Blue Jays 6-4 Friday night for their 17th straight home win against Toronto. "I was kind of expecting that," Suzuki said through a translator, referring to Jeters reaction. "During batting practice, he always tells me, Cant leave, which means the ball doesnt leave the ballpark." This time, Jeter altered his comment slightly -- or so Suzuki thought. "I think he said, Can leave," Suzuki said before laughing. After months of injuries and mediocre play, the Yankees find themselves back in playoff position and in a much better frame of mind. New York won for the seventh time in eight games since the All-Star break and moved one game in front of the third-place Blue Jays in the AL East. "Its better than the alternative, but it really doesnt mean a whole lot with 60 games to go," manager Joe Girardi said. Jose Bautista homered twice to reach 20 for the fifth straight season. He also doubled and drove in four runs, but Buehrle couldnt hold leads of 3-0 and 4-2. The All-Star left-hander dropped to 1-12 against the Yankees, including 10 straight losses over the past decade. New York is 26-10 against Toronto since September 2012. The bottom four batters in the Yankees lineup combined to go 7 for 14 with four RBIs. "You walk in this stadium, you feel energy. Its hard to really describe why, but its there," said third baseman Chase Headley, acquired from San Diego on Tuesday. Hiroki Kuroda (7-6) shrugged off a shaky start and allowed four runs and eight hits in 5 2-3 innings. David Robertson pitched the ninth for his 26th save in 28 chances, completing the bullpens two-hit, scoreless night. "With the stuff I had, I was struggling all day. But at the same time, I tried to hang in there," Kuroda said through a translator. Buehrle (10-7) started the season 10-1 but dropped to 0-6 with a 4.83 ERA in nine starts since beating Kansas City on June 1. He gave up six runs and nine hits in three innings, his shortest outing since June 6, 2010, for the Chicago White Sox against Cleveland. "Thats just frustrating," Buehrle said. "A big game like this, we needed to come out and try and make a point." Toronto manager John Gibbons called off pregame batting practice, hoping to change his teams luck in the Bronx. And it seemed to work at first when Bautista hit a three-run homer over the left-field scoreboard on a 3-0 pitch in the first. But New York closed in the second on Brian Roberts bases-loaded infield hit on a bouncer to third and Brett Gardners sacrifice fly. Bautista hit a solo drive in the third -- hes 4 for 16 against Kuroda with four home runs. Carlos Beltrans solo drive and Suzukis first home run since Aug. 30 off Baltimores Miguel Gonzalez put the Yankees ahead. The homerless streak of 294 at-bats was the third-longest of Suzukis major league career. The 40-year-old entered in a 6-for-41 (.146) slide overall but is hitting .431 in his career against Buehrle (25 for 58). Torontos Yankee Stadium skid, which started in September 2012, is the longest for a team at one opponent since Tampa Bay lost 18 in a row in Cleveland from September 2005 to July 2010, according to STATS. Suzuki was happy to have any kind of positive number in his home run column. "Now thats its not a 0, maybe Michael Kay will be easy on me," he said playfully, referring to a Yankees broadcaster.

Fitzgerald announced the move on Tuesday via his Twitter account. The receiver says the move was made to help the Cardinals "get better for 2014." Under his old deal, Fitzgerald would have earned $12.75 million next season and counted a whopping $18 million on the cap. The restructured contract came as no surprise. Fitzgerald said in a radio interview in New York last week that he understood the need to restructure his deal. "When those discussions come I will do what I need to do," Fitzgerald told Arizona Sports 98.7 in an interview at the Super Bowls "radio row." "I have a great relationship with (general manager) Steve Keim, he drafted me in Arizona. I understand his vision and what he is trying to do and the direction he is taking this ballclub. I understand at 30 years old there are things that need to change. Thats part of football, thats part of being an older veteran." Fitzgerald said he knew Patrick Petersons "deal is coming up and he needs to be compensated as the best corner in the game, which I feel he is." Fitzgeraald also mentioned defensive linemen Darnell Dockett and Frostee Rucker. Paul George Jersey. "There are a lot of guys that deserve to be compensated for their play," he said in the radio interview, "and I understand that." Fitzgerald is on his third contract in his 10 NFL seasons, all with the Cardinals. Last season, he made his eighth Pro Bowl. Fitzgerald holds every Cardinals career receiving record. He caught 82 passes, most on the team, for 954 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. In his career, Fitzgerald has 846 catches for 11,367 yards and 87 touchdowns. He has not missed a game since the 2007 season. The Cardinals, coming off a 10-6 season in their first year with Keim as GM and Bruce Arians as coach, had several players on one-year contracts, including inside linebacker Karlos Dansby, who resurrected his career with a big season, leading the team in tackles. Azcentral.com reported that the restructuring was a simple swap of bonus money for salary, saving the team about $10 million on the coming seasons cap. Cardinals President Michael Bidwill expressed confidence last week that the restructuring would get done. Keim has repeatedly said the team has no intention of trading Fitzgerald and wants him to retire a Cardinal.
