Yet it was the Yanks who ended up taking the division title. As the two teams prepare to start a three-game series Friday, the Yankees find themselves in first place with a four-game lead over the fourth-place Rays.

So much for that. Wells entered the game as an eighth-inning pinch-hitter and delivered a go-ahead ground-rule double in the 10th inning off Pedro Strop, helping lift the Yankees to a 6-4 victory over the Orioles.

And now he's on his third team in three months. Brignac, acquired from the Rockies on Saturday, began life with the Yankees on Sunday and was immediately penciled into the lineup, but the game against the Blue Jays was postponed due to rain.

Romine, the Yankees' young catcher, is playing for a team managed by a former backstop in Joe Girardi, which means he has both a built-in support system and somebody who understands the priorities of the position.

New York won the first two games of the series and will resume its season Monday against the Orioles with CC Sabathia on the mound.

The Yankees lined Granderson up for his first Major League game in right field Saturday against Toronto, and the longtime center fielder assured his manager that he wouldn't have a problem at the new position.

But that changed Saturday, when Robinson Cano, the lone regular in an infield decimated by injuries, hit two home runs to lead New York to a 7-2 win over Toronto.

New York acquired Reid Brignac from Colorado for cash considerations on Saturday. Spencer Fordin
