TORONTO -- The New York Yankees finally scored again. They still couldnt come up with a win in Canada.Ezequiel Carrera drove in the tying run with a squeeze bunt in the ninth inning, Edwin Encarnacion hit a winning single and the Toronto Blue Jays held their AL wild-card lead, rallying past the Yankees 4-3 Sunday.Its tough, its really tough, manager Joe Girardi said.Toronto leads Baltimore by 1 1/2 games for the top AL wild-card spot. The Blue Jays have won a team-record eight straight at home against the Yankees, who are 5 1/2 games out of wild card spot.New York ended its 33-inning scoreless streak, but lost for the 11th time in 14 games.Obviously weve been fighting, playing hard, and were just coming up short, closer Dellin Betances said. This is what you play for, to be in this position. We havent played the best the last week or so.After the Yankees scored twice in the ninth off closer Roberto Osuna (3-2) for a 3-2 lead, the Blue Jays bounced back.Betances walked Melvin Upton Jr. to begin the bottom of the ninth and took third when Kevin Pillar singled off Tyler Clippard (3-6). Carrera followed with a squeeze bunt, and both runners advanced as Clippards attempted scoop sent the ball rolling past catcher Gary Sanchez toward the backstop.In retrospect, I wish I hadnt flipped it because (Sanchez) wasnt in a position to even have a chance to tag him, Clippard said. It was just a reactionary thing, trying to save a run.Clippard struck out Devon Travis before Josh Donaldson was intentionally walked to load the bases. Encarnacions slow roller between first and second scored the winning run.I just feel very happy because we knew we were down, Encarnacion said through a translator. I was just very happy to bring that win for the team.Toronto took a 2-1 lead on Jose Bautistas RBI single off Betances in the eighth. The Yankees moved ahead in the ninth when Mason Williams singled home the tying run and Ronald Torreyes followed with a sacrifice fly.Bautista finished 2 for 2 with two walks and two RBI, and has reached safely in a season-best 32 straight games. His fourth-inning homer off Michael Pineda was his second in two games.After being held scoreless in their previous three games, New York loaded the bases with one out in the second but Marco Estrada struck out Williams and got Torreyes to pop out.Didi Gregorius ended New Yorks scoreless streak by homering to begin the seventh. It was the first run for the Yankees since Donovan Solanos two-run homer in the ninth inning of Wednesdays win at Tampa Bay.No AL team has gone scoreless in four games since the introduction of the designated hitter. The last to do it was the Washington Senators in September, 1964.EXTRA, EXTRAGregorius has 53 extra base hits this season, the most by a Yankees shortstop since Derek Jeter had 55 in 2007.ICE TO SEE YOUCanadas World Cup hockey team watched the game from a suite and received a standing ovation when they were shown on the stadium scoreboard.

LOUIS -- Monday night turned into another missed opportunity for the St. Louis Cardinals, and it could have been so much worse.St. Louis entered the ninth inning on the verge of being the first no-hit victims in Busch Stadium IIIs 11-year history, but Jeremy Hazelbakers leadoff homer on an 0-2 pitch from Chicago Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks saved it from that distinction, if not the indignity of a 4-1 loss.Whats more, the New York Mets 8-1 loss in Washington kept the Cardinals (75-68) a half-game out of the National Leagues second wild-card spot. Theyll hope for similar help Tuesday night as well as a better result in game two of their series with the Cubs.Manager Mike Matheny, perhaps looking for any positive from an offense thats scored in just four of their last 34 innings, pointed to the last three outs of Monday nights defeat as a good sign.Its always good to score and then get another guy on base, he said. You try to make something happen and put a little pressure on them. We didnt care how it happened; we wanted to get something going.Time is running out to get something going for St. Louis, especially at home, where it fell to 32-40 and must win its last nine games to avoid its first sub-.500 season since Busch III opened in 2006.It wont help that itll have to face Jason Hammel (14-8, 3.50), who already owns two wins against it this year, a 2-1 decision on April 19 and a 12-3 verdict on May 24 in which he worked six shutout innings despite not having his best stuff.But the recent versioon of Hammel is one they might be able to hit.dddddddddddd Hes coming off a dreary 12-5 defeat Sept. 6 in Milwaukee, where he allowed 13 hits and nine runs, eight earned, in 5 2/3 innings.However, Cardinals starter Jaime Garcia hasnt been much better. Garcia (10-12, 4.58) has been pummeled in four of his last five starts, including a 12-6 loss Thursday night to the Brewers at home.Garcia was lit up for eight hits and five runs in 3 2/3 innings, walking one and whiffing three, as he suffered his fourth straight loss.Whats more, St. Louis might have another injury concern to deal with as first baseman Matt Carpenter departed Monday nights game after seven innings with back tightness. His status for Tuesday night isnt known.What is known is that Chicago would love to clinch on its archrivals turf. The proof of that might have come in the sixth inning Monday night, when right fielder Jason Heyward enraged the fans who cheered for him last year by falling into the seats to snatch Hazelbakers foul fly.It also highlighted one of the big differences in the teams. While the Cardinals have been one of the games shakiest teams defensively, the Cubs sport plus defenders and good athletes at almost every spot on the field.Heyward jumping into the seats, Addy (shortstop Addison Russell) in the hole, JB (second baseman Javier Baez) all over the place, manager Joe Maddon said. All of that. ' ' '
