FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The latest step forward for Toronto FC could have come at a significant cost. Luis Silva scored in the eighth minute to push Toronto to a second consecutive victory with a 1-0 win at New England on Saturday night, but influential striker Danny Koevermans departed in the first half with an apparent left knee injury. Koevermans suffered the injury as he chased after a ball on the right side of the penalty area and took a challenge from A.J. Soares in the 37th minute. The prolific Dutch striker immediately clutched his left knee as he fell to the ground and soon made his way off the field on a stretcher. TFC did not issue an update on Koevermans condition after the match, but he left Gillette Stadium on crutches with his left leg immobilized. "I fear the worst for Danny," TFC coach Paul Mariner said. "Ive got my fingers crossed, but I spoke to the doctor from New England, who I have the highest regard for, and it doesnt sound too good." Koevermans, who has nine goals this season, provided yet another reminder of the hole he would leave up front should he miss extended time by playing a crucial role in the only goal of the match. TFC exploited the uncertainty in the New England defence caused when centre back Stephen McCarthy left the field with concussion-like symptoms in the sixth minute after a clash of heads with Toronto striker Ryan Johnson. TFC midfielder Reggie Lambe sliced into the middle of the field and supplied Silva in space on the edge of the penalty area. Silva played a quick one-two with Koevermans before slotting home his second goal in as many games. "I gave it to him, kept my run going and got a nice little pass back," Silva said. "I took a touch and just put it away from the keeper." From that point on, Toronto spent most of its time soaking up pressure and trying to hit the Revolution on the counter. Johnson and Silva squandered second-half opportunities in a bid to punish the Revolution for committing numbers into the attack, but TFC dedicated most of its efforts to keeping a tight shape and preventing the Revolution from claiming an equalizer. Toronto goalkeeper Milos Kocic ensured he and his resolute teammates would leave Gillette Stadium with all three points by denying Benny Feilhaber at the near post in the 64th minute and pushing away a Jerry Bengtson header six minutes before the end. "New England were pressing and pressing us," Mariner said. "They had some chances. The keeper made a couple of great saves for us. But, having said that, we could have had more goals on the break."

Hughes (13-11) won his sixth consecutive decision at Yankee Stadium, giving up only Adeiny Hechavarrias first major league homer in seven effective innings. He allowed four hits and walked three. Rafael Soriano bounced back from a blown save Monday night, when he gave up a go-ahead homer to Colby Rasmus with two outs in the ninth, by working a perfect inning to finish the four-hitter for his 34th save in 37 tries. Curtis Granderson hit a sacrifice fly to help the Yankees to their fifth win in 12 games. They beat Romero (8-12) for the third time during his winless skid. The left-hander has not won in 12 starts since June 22. The Blue Jays have provided little help, though, giving him just 17 runs of support in his last 10 starts. Romero did rebound from a wild outing against Detroit in which he walked eight in 5 1-3 innings. This time, he walked two and yielded five hits and two runs in seven innings. With sluggers Mark Teixeira out after straining his left calf Monday and Alex Rodriguez sidelined since late July because of a broken hand, manager Joe Girardi put Yankees newcomer Steve Pearce in the No. 4 spot in the lineup because he has decent numbers against lefties. Pearce was acquired Monday from the Houston Astros for cash. The designated hitter scored on Grandersons sacrifice fly in the fourth after he had walked, advanced on a wild pitch and went to third on a groundout by Russell Martin, batting fifth despite a .196 average coming in. Pearce and Martin went a combined 0 for 5 with two strikeouts. But Swisher had an RBI single in the third inning forr his 21st RBI in 20 games since moving into the second spot in New Yorks lineup.dddddddddddd The Blue Jays dropped to 12-26 since Jose Bautista first went on the disabled list July 17 because of a left wrist injury. The three-time All-Star was activated Friday but went back on the DL two games later with the same problem. He will have season-ending surgery next week to stabilize a tendon and is expected to be ready for the start of spring training. Hechavarria cut it to 2-1 in the fifth with a high fly that landed several rows back in short right field. Yankees fans often throw home run balls back on the field but not this time. During warmups for the bottom half, Blue Jays right fielder Moises Sierra was talking to fans in the area where the ball cleared the fence. Toronto had a chance in the sixth, when Hughes walked the first two batters. But he got Adam Lind to hit a soaring fly that landed in Swishers glove right in front of the 314-foot sign in the right-field corner. Robinson Cano then made a leaping grab of Yunel Escobars liner to second and threw to third for a double play. NOTES: Hughes has lost his last five road starts. ... Rodriguez took batting practice on the field for the first time since his injury. He also ran the bases and fielded grounders. "So far, so good," A-Rod said. Girardi said the slugger will do the same Wednesday and then the team will discuss a plan, which could include one or two rehab games. ... LHP Andy Pettitte (broken left ankle) threw on flat ground. Girardi hopes hell have a bullpen session this weekend. ... Blue Jays manager John Farrell said neither Henderson Alvarez nor Aaron Laffey would miss any time after being by batted balls Monday. Alvarez took a hard grounder off his left shin and Laffey was hit by a drive off his left calf. Both are day to day. ' ' '
