Jose Bautista slides past the outstretched arm of catcher Brian McCann to score in the seventh inning of the Yankees' 9-0 loss to the Blue Jays on Friday.

Their second straight defeat assured the Yankees can’t catch the Red Sox, so all that’s left is to see how much longer they can stay alive in the wild-card race.
