Pannone stifles Yanks with family in the stands

NEW YORK -- Making your first career start at Yankee Stadium with your entire family watching from the stands would feel like a daunting task to many rookies, but Thomas Pannone didn't let the pressure get to him Sunday afternoon.

In his fourth big league start, the Rhode Island native tossed seven strong innings and allowed just two runs on four hits. Pannone set the Blue Jays up for their 38th come-from-behind win of the season, as Randal Grichuk delivered a go-ahead RBI double in the eighth to defeat the Yankees, 3-2. The victory secured Toronto's first series win over New York this season.
