NEW YORK, N.Y. - On the morning of June 7, the Toronto Blue Jays were 38-24 and led the AL East by six games. Since then theyve sputtered to a 39-51 record and have little chance to end their two-decade-plus post-season drought. The faded Blue Jays tied their longest losing streak of the season at five games Thursday night, losing to the New York Yankees 3-2 when first baseman Adam Lind allowed Chase Headleys two-hop grounder in the ninth inning to bounce under his glove and through his legs for a game-ending error. "It happened so fast. Basically, I didnt make the play," Lind said. "I thought I was focused on the ball. He hit it pretty hard, almost right at me." New York (78-74) moved ahead of Toronto (77-75) for sole possession of second place in the AL East, and the Blue Jays are six games back in the wild card race with 10 games left. Toronto hasnt made the playoffs since winning consecutive World Series titles in 1992 and 93. The hope of spring has long since evaporated. "Its disappointing for everybody. Theres no way around that," said R.A. Dickey, who stretched his scoreless streak against the Yankees to 19 innings before allowing Stephen Drews RBI double in the fifth and Derek Jeters home run in the sixth. "Weve been a streaky team all year, both bad and good, and right now were in the middle of a bad streak." Toronto tied the score in the eighth when Jose Reyes singled with two outs and Jose Bautista homered off Shawn Kelley on an 0-2 pitch, slamming his bat as he neared first base. Bautista homered in his fourth straight game against the Yankees and has hit seven of his 33 homers this year against New York. "Any time you come back late and tie it up, youve got a good feeling," Toronto manager John Gibbons said, "but weve been having trouble scoring runs." The Blue Jays went on to lose for the 18th time in their last 20 games at Yankee Stadium. Not the season Gibbons was hoping for in the second season of his second stint as Toronto manager. "Its frustrating, but in this game the best teams go and the ones that arent good enough, they dont go. Its that simple," Gibbons said. After David Robertson (3-6) pitched a perfect ninth, Chris Young singled off Aaron Sanchez (2-2) leading off the bottom half. Speedy pinch-runner Antoan Richardson stole second, Brett Gardner sacrificed him to third on a 3-2 pitch and, with the infield in, Headley hit the bouncer to Lind. "Defence matters in this game," Gibbons said. "Then they put a guy on there that could fly. Its a tough way to lose a game. No doubt. Theyre all tough." LONG OUTINGS Toronto starting pitchers have gone six innings or more in a team-record 24 consecutive games, five more than the previous mark in 1998.
