TORONTO -- Aaron Hill laughs and shakes his head at the comparison. He may be putting his name alongside Roberto Alomar's in the club's record book, but Hill hardly thinks he already belongs in the same breath as the former Blue Jays second baseman.

"He's done some fantastic things," Hill said. "But I'll never compare myself to him. Well, we'll see. When my career's over, I guess we can compare each other. I've got a lot to do to catch him."

This season, Hill doesn't have too much more to do in order to break a pair of Toronto records that were established by Alomar. On Saturday, Hill collected his 41st double of the year, tying Alomar's 1991 record for doubles in a season by a second baseman.

With one more home run, Hill will match Alomar's 1993 single-season mark of 17 by a Toronto second baseman. So, with 14 games to play, Hill has a chance to move Alomar's name down one line on the team's all-time charts.

Hill is more interested in catching Alomar in a different category, though.

"The personal stuff is fine, but you can't really enjoy it when you're not playing for anything, as far as playoffs," Hill said. "That guy, he's got a lot on me. The biggest thing is the World Series, obviously.

"He won. I think that's what people remember."

Alomar, who was a part of Toronto's back-to-back World Series titles in 1992-93, also captured five Gold Gloves in his five seasons with the Blue Jays and owned a .984 career fielding percentage at second base. This season, Hill has a .984 fielding average at the same position, leads all American League second baseman with 510 assists and ranks second with 107 double plays, entering Sunday.

In his third season, the 25-year-old Hill also entered Sunday's tilt against the Orioles ranked first among AL second basemen in games (147) and doubles, second in RBIs (72) and fourth in home runs. His 72 RBIs also were tied with Alomar's 1992 total for the second-highest amount in a season by a Jays second baseman.

"He's arguably one of the best second basemen ever," Hill said of Alomar. "He's up there. It's nice that you share a record with him, but he won a World Series. It can't get much better than that."

Cy times two? The last thing Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay expects this year is to be in the running for his second AL Cy Young Award. Even after picking up his 15th win of the season on Saturday, Halladay was quick to say he didn't consider himself a contender.

"I wouldn't think so," Halladay said. "I look at what C.C [Sabathia of the Indians] is doing, and there's a lot of good guys out there who have pitched all year and done a great job. That's one of those things where, even when you're in it, you try not to concern yourself with it."

Despite missing three weeks in May after an emergency appendectomy, Halladay is 15-7 with a 3.82 ERA and a Major League-high seven complete games. Sabathia, who ranks second with four complete efforts, is 17-7 with a 3.21 ERA. Then again, there are plenty of other worthy candidates.

"It might be one of these two," said Toronto manager John Gibbons, referring to Boston's Josh Beckett and New York's Chien-Ming Wang as he tuned in to TV broadcast of the Yankees-Red Sox game on Saturday.

Beckett defeated New York for his 19th win, and he owns a 3.20 ERA, while Wang has gone 18-7 with a 3.82 ERA. Other Cy Young hopefuls include Angels right-hander Kelvim Escobar (17-7, 3.25), Detroit's Justin Verlander (17-5, 3.47) and Cleveland's Fausto Carmona (17-8, 3.07).

"If you really look at it, we've had trouble getting [Halladay] any wins lately," Gibbons said. "Then you take away that month he missed with the appendix, of course, that never factors in, but he's done a heck of a job."

Limiting the load: Halladay has averaged just under eight innings per start since the All-Star break, and he leads the Majors with 100 2/3 innings over that span. On Saturday, his seven innings marked Halladay's shortest outing since Aug. 8. Gibbons said he'll keep an eye on the ace's workload over the final two weeks.

"He's been logging some innings. You've got to be smart," Gibbons said. "One thing he does is he sets his mind when he goes out there to finish the game. Usually he's in a position to come close to doing that."

Reunited: Victor Zambrano didn't pan out for the Jays earlier this year, but he certainly handled Toronto's hitters on Saturday. Zambrano, who was acquired by the Orioles on Sept. 9, held the Jays to two hits over for shutout innings. The right-hander was signed by Toronto in the offseason, but he was released in July after he struggled in his comeback from an elbow injury.

"Zambrano looked good," Gibbons said. "It was good to see Vic look good. He was here with us for a while. He's a tremendous competitor, and you hope he bounces back. You always pull for guys that you've been with and who approach the game the right way. He's one of those guys."

Did you know? Toronto opened the first inning with a club-record seven straight hits on Saturday night. It marked the most hits to open a game since Boston had seven to begin a contest against Florida on June 27, 2003.

Coming up: Blue Jays right-hander Dustin McGowan (10-9, 4.01 ERA) is scheduled to start the opener of a three-game set against the Red Sox at 7:07 p.m. ET on Monday at Rogers Centre. Boston will counter with righty Tim Wakefield (16-10, 4.68).
