TORONTO -- The New York Yankees offense has disappeared, and their playoffs chances have pretty much vanished, too.Jose Bautista hit a three-run homer off Tyler Clippard in the eighth inning, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Yankees 3-0 Saturday.New York has been shut out in three straight games for the first time July 27-28, 1975.Whatever were doing right now, its not working, first baseman Mark Teixeira said. We just seem to have lost it the last few days.The Yankees have lost 10 of 13 following a seven-game winning streak and dropped 4 1/2 games back for the ALs second wild card with eight games left. They likely will miss the playoffs for the third time in four years.You keep fighting. Thats all you can do, manager Joe Girardi said.New York has been held scoreless an AL-high 13 times this season, including six times in September. The Yankees have not scored since Donovan Solanos two-run homer in the ninth inning of Wednesdays win at Tampa Bay and have gone 0 for 16 with runners in scoring position in their last three games, stranding 20 runners.You become disappointed when theres a lack of effort, Girardi said. Theres no lack of effort. We had optional BP today and everybody hit, so theres no lack of effort.The major league record for consecutive shutout losses is four. The last to do it was the Chicago Cubs from April 27 to May 1, 1992.Toronto leads Baltimore by 1 1/2 games for the ALs top wild card, with Detroit another half-game back.Josh Donaldson singled with two outs in the eighth off Clippard (3-5), advanced on a wild pitch, and Edwin Encarnacion walked. Clippard fell behind 2-0 in the count and Bautista sent a fastball over the left-field wall, delighting the crowd of 47,828. Bautista reached 20 homers for the seventh straight season.I was definitely looking for a heater in that situation and I was lucky to make good contact, Bautista said.Jason Grilli (7-5) allowed a two-out triple to Ronald Torreyes in the eighth. Pinch-hitter Billy Butler fouled off three straight pitches, then swung past a 94 mph fastball. Grilli pumped his hands twice, pounded his glove and pumped his hands again.I got a pitch I should have hit and fouled it off, Butler said.Roberto Osuna pitched a one-hit ninth for his 35th save in 38 chances, completing Torontos second straight three-hitter.Yankees starter CC Sabathia, 0-2 in his last six starts, allowed four hits and three walks in seven innings. Torontos Marcus Stroman gave up one hit in seven innings -- Aaron Hicks single in the second.We didnt have too many opportunities today, Girardi said. Stroman kept us in check. We just werent able to get anything going off him.BORDER BLUESNew York has lost seven straight games at Rogers Centre, matching a franchise-worst streak. The Yankees also lost seven straight in Toronto in 1992 and 1993.POWER PACKBautista is the sixth Blue Jays player to reach the 20-homer plateau, the most since 2010. He joins Encarnacion (42), Donaldson (36), Michael Saunders (24), Troy Tulowitzki (24) and Russell Martin (20).MAKING THEM MATTERBautista has 16 career home runs that have given his team a lead in the eighth inning or later, including 14 with Toronto.TRAINERS ROOMYankees: 3B Chase Headley (back) and Teixeira (neck) were held out of the starting lineup. Headley went 0 for 7 Thursday and Friday after sitting out the previous three games. Teixeira entered as a defensive replacement in the eighth.UP NEXTRHP Michael Pineda (6-11, 4.89) starts for New York in Sundays series finale and RHP Marco Estrada (9-9, 3.62) for Toronto. Pineda has failed to complete five innings in three of his past four outings and is winless in eight starts, matching a career-worst streak. Estrada snapped a three-start losing streak with seven shutout innings against Seattle last Monday. Gregor Blanco Mets Jersey . Marincin has played in two NHL games so far this season with two penalty minutes. The 21-year-old has three goals, four assists and a plus-5 rating in 24 games with the American Hockey Leagues Oklahoma City Barons this season. Darryl Strawberry Jersey .35 million, one-year contract that avoided salary arbitration. Plouffe batted .254 with 14 home runs and 52 RBIs in 477 at-bats last season, his second as a regular in the lineup. http://www.metssale.com/mets-amed-rosario-jersey/ . Andrew Luck lost his favourite target and the Indianapolis locker room lost one of its most revered leaders when Reggie Wayne was diagnosed Monday with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee that will cost him the rest of the season. Tom Seaver Jersey . The news was first reported on Gonzalezs Twitter account and confirmed by the Rockies. Gonzalez has a six-week window before position players have their first workout at spring training in Arizona. Zack Wheeler Jersey . But Bourque, who has missed three games with a lower-body injury, wont be in the lineup when the Habs travel to Buffalo to take on the Sabres on Wednesday.
