Through six innings at new Yankee Stadium, the No. 7 hitter has been getting it done.
Alex Rios, now batting seventh (with Vernon Wells hitting sixth), is 2-for-3 with 3 RBIs, and Roy Halladay and the Blue Jays have a 5-3 lead over the Yankees through six.
With Toronto down 1-0 in the second, Lyle Overbay walked and Wells hit a ground-rule double that got into the right-field stands. Rios then took Chien-Ming Wang's pitch to centre, just past the pitcher, and the Jays had a 2-1 lead.
In the sixth, with the Jays down 3-2, Adam Lind hit a two-run homer off Wang, and then Rios added an RBI single with two on and two out off David Robertson.
Where was this offense from Rios all season long?

It turned out to be a moot point. About 10 minutes after I posted this, the Yankees tied the game off Halladay.
