After three straight subpar starts, Roy Halladay was back to being dominant Friday.

Halladay pitched a one-hitter to snap a three-start losing streak and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Yankees 6-0, ending New York's winning streak at seven games.

"If we gave up one (run), we wouldn't have won tonight," said Yankees manager Joe Girardi, whose team was shut out for the fifth time this season.

The 2003 AL Cy Young Award winner, Halladay struggled with his command in recent outings but had no such trouble against the Yankees, striking out nine and walking three to win for the first time since Aug. 14 at Tampa Bay.

"To feel like, at any moment, I could make a pitch if I had to makes a big difference," Halladay said.
