NEW YORK -- Ichiro Suzuki was overwhelmed by the outpouring of appreciation he received from the Yankees after he got his 4,000th hit between the major leagues and Japan in the first inning. The celebration after Alfonso Sorianos tiebreaking homer in the eighth was pretty nice, too. Soriano connected off R.A. Dickey with two outs in the eighth inning Wednesday night, lifting New York to a 4-2 victory over the Blue Jays for Torontos 12th straight loss at Yankee Stadium. "Its unbelievable, 4,000 hits," Soriano said of Suzukis milestone. "To get 4,000 hits, you have to be a great hitter." The 39-year-old Suzuki hit a liner off Dickey (9-12) that bounced just beyond diving third baseman Brett Lawrie for the milestone hit. Pete Rose with 4,256 hits and Ty Cobb with 4,191 are the only two players that have reached the number solely in the major leagues. Suzuki broke a tie with Lou Gehrig when he got his 2,722nd major league hit in his 13th season. The speedy outfielder amassed 1,278 hits in nine seasons with Orix of Japans Pacific League. Suzukis teammates streamed out of the dugout and surrounded him at first base, Curtis Granderson giving him the first hug. A grinning Suzuki then faced the cheering fans and bowed, tipping his helmet. He bowed several more times, the last one toward the Blue Jays dugout. "When my teammates came out to first base it was very special, and to see the fans," Suzuki said. "I wasnt expecting so much joy and happiness from them and thats what made it very special tonight." When he went to his position in right field for the second inning, Suzuki tipped his cap to fans who greeted him with a standing ovation. "You never want to be the guy that gives up the milestone," Dickey said. "That being said, what an incredible achievement. The manner that hes done it is equally impressive. Just the longevity, the endurance, the durability. Having played with him in Seattle, it was a real treat to play with him and it couldnt have happened to a more professional hitter." Ken Griffey Jr., a former teammate with the Seattle Mariners, congratulated Suzuki with a message shown on the video board at Yankee Stadium. Suzukis postgame news conference with the Japanese media lasted a whopping 47 minutes. Soriano has played a big role in the Yankees recent surge in which they have won 10 of 13. He had hit six homers and drove in 19 runs over a six-game stretch. But he was 0 for 17 before connecting off the knuckleballer in the eighth for the 4-2 lead. "I like to hit knuckleballs," Soriano said. "The whole game, he had been throwing me knuckleballs, good ones, a lot of movement. Finally, the last one I got a good one to hit." David Huff (1-0) pitched one-hit ball in five innings of relief to shut down the Blue Jays before New York finally got to Dickey. Yankees infielder Jayson Nix broke his left hand when he was hit by a pitch in the second inning. On Tuesday, he hit a tying homer and had a walk-off single in the ninth to help New York secure a doubleheader sweep. "I feel terrible," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "After a great day for him yesterday and what hes meant to our club this year playing so much shortstop in the absence of Jete (Derek Jeter) and Nuni (Eduardo Nunez) going down. This is a guy that just does things right. Adam Warren started for New York to give 41-year-old Andy Pettitte one more day after the Yankees stayed on rotation for their doubleheader Tuesday. He gave up two runs in three-plus innings, including Josh Tholes tying homer in the fourth. It was Tholes first homer with the Blue Jays. Huff relieved and didnt allow a hit until Lawrie led off the eighth with an infield single. Huff walked four, one intentionally, but never was in real trouble. "A lot of that lineup was down in (Triple-A) Buffalo when I was down in Scranton," Huff said. "I got to face them and got a good feel for them." Toronto left at least one runner on base in each of the first eight innings and was 2 for 15 with runners on base. Mariano Rivera pitched the ninth and earned his 37th save after working both games of New Yorks doubleheader sweep Tuesday. He gave up a one-out double to Rajai Davis, but picked him off second, and then struck out Edwin Encarnacion looking to end the game. Dickey overcame a rough start, giving up four hits in the first three innings and putting a runner in scoring position with a wild pitch before settling in with his knuckleball in ideal hot conditions. He struck out nine and gave up six hits. But after retiring 14 of 15, he allowed a two-out single to Robinson Cano. Soriano followed by connecting for the 28th homer off Dickey this year, a career high. "Its frustrating. Its like the Twilight Zone. Different day, same script," Dickey said. "Its really a very fluky kind of feeling." Thole, who caught Dickey throughout much of his NL Cy Young Award season with the New York Mets last year, had two passed balls in the first inning, but the Yankees failed to score. In the second, Eduardo Nunez singled and stole second. Dickeys wild pitch sent Nunez to third, and Austin Romines sacrifice fly tied it at 1. Munenori Kawasaki had given Toronto the early lead with an RBI single in the top half. The Blue Jays have led in each of the three games in this series and lost all three. They have dropped nine in a row against New York. Granderson had a two-out RBI single in the third. NOTES: Yankees 3B Alex Rodriguez was given the night off. ... Blue Jays SS Jose Reyes was ejected in the second inning after he tossed his helmet in the direction of home plate umpire Ted Barrett.

Hawkers had said Mexicans could use their glasses to hide their crying eyes when they were constructing the wall.Last week Hawkers attempted to make amends by taking out a full-page advert in a national newspaper to apologies and revealing it was contributing $25,000 (USD) to a childrens charity set up in Perezs name. However, Perez is unmoved by the ccompanys latest attempts at reconciliation.dddddddddddd.No, I didnt change [my opinion]. I have new sunglasses. My relationship finished with them so, yeah, I dont have any more sunglasses sponsor.Perez was unimpressed by the fact Hawkers chose to apologise to him in public without contacting him privately.No, I didnt find it... I think if they want to help, it is up to them. I have my foundation and I do a lot for charity and it will be good for them to do so.But they didnt contact me directly, they did it all through social media which I didnt find good but it is all over now and if they want to help then they should help without me.
