TORONTO - Tempted as he might have been, Brian Cashman didn't call Wednesday night's game a "must win."
"Listen, I want it, I'll tell you that," the Yankees general manager said about 1½ hours before first pitch. "Someone's going to win tonight, but the season's not over today, either way."
But after a 4-0 loss to the Blue Jays in front of another thunderous sellout crowd at Rogers Centre, the Yankees' division hopes are all but over.
The Yankees (83-68) fell 3½ games behind Toronto (87-65) in the AL East. So start lining up Masahiro Tanaka for the wild-card game Oct.
