Toronto opened the scoring on a two-out double by Goins in the second. New York tied it in the fifth on an RBI groundout by Aaron Hicks when Josh Donaldson bobbled what might have been an inning-ending double play.
Toronto got two in the fifth and then Teixeira's homer made it 3-2 Blue Jays before Toronto's breakout inning.
Pineda's three walks were the most he'd issued in 42 career starts with the Yankees, snapping his team record streak of starts with two or fewer walks. Mike Mussina walked two or fewer in his final 37 starts with New York.
