TORONTO (AP) 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 to send New York to its third consecutive shutout defeat.

New York has been blanked in three straight games for the first time July 27-28, 1975. The Yankees, who have lost 10 of 13 following a seven-game winning streak, dropped 4 1/2 games back for the AL's second wild card with eight games left and likely will miss the playoffs for the third time in four years.

The Yankees haven't scored since Donovan Solano's two-run homer in the ninth inning of Wednesday's win at Tampa Bay. New York has gone 0 for 16 with runners in scoring position in its last three games and stranded 20 runners.

Toronto, the AL wild-card leader, opened a two-game lead over Detroit.
