Toronto - Jose Bautista and J.P. Arencibia each hit two-run home runs, Drew Hutchison won consecutive starts for the first time and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 4-1 Thursday night, sweeping their two-game series.

New York lost its third straight and fell to 0-9 this season when failing to hit at least one home run. The Yankees, who have scored 12 total runs in nine losses this month, dropped a half game behind Toronto and into fourth place in the AL East.

Making just his sixth major league start, Hutchison (3-1) allowed one run and five hits in six innings, matching his longest outing. He walked four and struck out three.

Jason Frasor worked the seventh, Darren Oliver pitched the eighth and Casey Janssen finished in the ninth for his second save in three opportunities.

The Yankees opened the scoring in the first when Curtis Granderson drew a one-out walk and scored on Robinson Cano's double.

Derek Jeter and Granderson had consecutive one-out singles in the fifth but Cano flied out and Mark Teixeira popped out to end the threat.

Toronto took the lead for good in the third when Bautista followed Yunel Escobar's single with a towering blast to left, his second homer in as many nights and his 10th this season.

Bautista's drive came off New York righty Phil Hughes (3-5), who lost for the first time in three starts. Hughes allowed two runs and seven hits in 5 1-3 innings. He walked two and struck out five.

Arencibia gave the Blue Jays some extra cushion when he drilled a two-out drive to left off Cory Wade in the seventh, his fifth. Like Bautista, Arencibia also went deep in Toronto's 8-1 win over New York on Wednesday, a game that featured four Blue Jays homers.
