Replays showed Rodriguez shouting something, and Clark backed off at the last second. McDonald was only a few steps behind Clark, but couldn't make the catch and ball dropped for an RBI single.


"I just said, 'Hah!' That's it," Rodriguez said. "Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."

Giambi followed with a two-run single. When the game ended, many of the Blue Jays stayed on the bench, staring at Rodriguez and the Yankees.


"They have their opinions," he said, adding he pulled the trick to help the Yankees "win a game. We're desperate."


Rodriguez said three or four times each week, opponents shout at him while he pursues foul pops near their dugout.


"It's not like he said, 'I got it,'" Yankees manager Joe Torre said.
