New York ? Now, the New York Yankees really need Roger Clemens.

Jeff Weaver unraveled after an error by Alfonso Soriano and Toronto completed its first four-game sweep over the Yankees, winning 5-3 Sunday and sending New York to its seventh straight home loss.

“It can only get better. It can’t get much worse than it’s been,” shortstop Derek Jeter said.

The Yankees dropped their season-high fourth in a row, a skid that has dropped them out of the AL East lead. And their slump at Yankee Stadium is their worst since they lost 10 straight in 1986. New York has lost 11 of the last 12 at home.

So what had shaped up as a festive afternoon in the Bronx today has become a little more desperate for the Yankees. While Clemens will make his first try at earning his 300th career victory, he’ll also try to stop the division-leading Boston Red Sox.

Greg Myers hit a two-run double and Josh Phelps also drove in two runs as the Blue Jays finished off an 8-2 road trip. The sweep over the Yankees came in Toronto’s 27th season.

“If you started out a four-game series here with the idea you’re going to win them all, it would seem unreasonable. To win them all is kind of special,” Myers said.

Torre dramatically changed his lineup, trying to spark his floundering team.

Jeter did fine as the new leadoff man, hitting a home run and a single. Soriano also went 2-for-5 with a solo homer in the ninth while hitting in the third slot for the first time in his major league career.

The Yankees stranded 12 runners, including at least one in every inning. New York also got a hit in every inning, but went 0-for-18 with runners on base.

“We like to think we’re something special,” Torre said. “When you’re winning, it’s play. Now, it’s a little more work. Their pride’s been beaten up a little bit.”

Doug Davis (2-3), claimed on waivers by the Blue Jays on April 30 after being cut by Texas, pitched five innings and ended his three-game losing streak.

He held New York to one run, working around six hits and two walks.

“It was my first time pitching here, and it was great. And it was great to contribute to the four-game sweep,” Davis said.

Toronto used four relievers, with Cliff Politte getting his eighth save.

The Blue Jays helped themselves by playing errorless defense.
