TORONTO -- The New York Yankees ended one streak, now they must find a way to end another streak on Monday in the finale of a four-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays.They are on an eight-game losing streak at Rogers Centre.New York did score, at least, in the 4-3 loss to the Blue Jays Sunday.When Didi Gregorius led off the seventh inning with his 19th homer of the season, it ended the Yankees string of run-less innings at 33, a span that included being shut out in each of their three previous games.They avoided the embarrassment of becoming the first American League team to be blanked in four consecutive games since the introduction of the designated hitter in 1973. The Washington Senators were the last AL team to be shut out in four straight games and that was Sept. 1-5, 1964.The Yankees also looked as if they would win the game Sunday when they scored twice to go ahead 3-2 in the ninth only to have the Blue Jays score the tying run on a safety squeeze and the winning run on a two-out infield single to earn their third straight victory.The Blue Jays remain in the first wild-card spot by 1 1/2 games over the Baltimore Orioles, who start a three-game series in Toronto on Tuesday.The Yankees have lost four games in a row -- and 11 of their past 14 -- and are 5 1/2 games removed from a wild-card spot.They have lost eight games in a row at Rogers Centre.There have been few of those losses tougher to take than the one on Sunday.Its tough, its really tough, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.The loss took the Yankees one step closer to elimination from a chance to participate in the postseason.It stinks, Girardi said. Weve been fighting and fighting. You think about some of these games weve lost, theyve been really tough. Weve gotten good pitching performances, weve lost in a number of different ways. Its just been tough.The Blue Jays seem to be righting themselves. They lost nine of their first 12 games in September and now are 10-12 for the month.Marco Estrada, who did not factor in the decision Sunday despite allowing only one run in seven innings, feels the revival of the Blue Jays goes beyond the three straight wins to open the final seven-game home stand of the season.I dont think its the last three games, I think it goes back even further, he said, referring to the series in Seattle where throngs of Canadian fans cheered the Blue Jays on to win two of three games from the Mariners. Going to Seattle and just seeing that atmosphere, seeing the fans, all the support were getting on the road, it means a lot to us. It definitely pumps us up a bit.And then coming home and seeing sold-out crowds. Its a great feeling to be a part of this team right now. Were obviously very excited to be home and this atmosphere, you just cant beat it right now.So it definitely gives us a lot of energy and it pumps us up a lot. And were playing really good baseball right now. Our pitching has been really good, especially this series. Its a tough lineup over there on the other side and were able to pitch pretty well against them.Im glad our pitching is back to what it has been all year basically and obviously our hitting has been tremendous and we were able to score a few runs at the end.The Blue Jays will have their 20-game winner, J.A. Happ, going for them on Monday against the Yankees. Happ will go for his fourth win in a row. He is 3-0 with a 2.65 earned-run average in his past three starts. The left-hander is 3-0 with a 2.39 ERA in four starts against the Yankees this season and is 6-2 with a 4.02 ERA in 13 career starts against them.The Yankees did not officially announce a starter for Monday although Girardi said it likely will be right-hander Luis Severino, who has had more success this season as a reliever.Severino is 3-0 with a 0.39 ERA in 11 relief appearances. He is 0-8 with an 8.58 ERA in nine starts this season with the Yankees. In 13 games (12 starts) at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, he was 8-2 with a 3.49 ERA. He pitched three scoreless innings in one relief appearance against the Blue Jays this season. In four career outings against Toronto, including three starts, he is 0-2, 5.71 ERA.

Air Max 90 Sale Outlet .J. -- Seven games into a disappointing season, New York Giants defensive catalyst Jason Pierre-Paul is getting the feeling hes back. Defending champion Serena Williams did not need to work too hard to earn her 300th career Grand Slam match win and move into the fourth round at Wimbledon, overwhelming 43rd-ranked Annika Beck of Germany 6-3, 6-0 on Sunday.The victory pushed Williams past Chrissie Evert into second for career Slam victories in the Open era. Williams trails only Martina Navratilova, who went 306-49 in her career.Williams said she?wasnt aware of the milestone until she was asked about it in a postmatch interview.Was it? Cool. Oh, nice, she said with a laugh. I had no idea. Thats awesome, right? Thats good, right? I think thats a lot of matches.It took all of 51 minutes at Centre Court for Williams to advance. Williams, who has won six of her 21 Grand Slam titles at the All England Club, compiled a 25-2 edge in winners.Williams, who is bidding to equal Steffi Grafs Open era record of 22 Grand Slam titles, was asked about the pressure of being expected to win all the time.Every time I step out on the court, if I dont win, its major national news, she said. But if I do win, its just like a small tag in the corner. ... I dont look at it as a burden. I look at it almost like something thats really awesome to be in that position.For only the fourth time in Wimbledons 139-year history, play was scheduled on the middle Sunday, which is the traditional rest day, because of rain delays in the first week that caused a backlog of matches.?All 22,000 tickets for Sundays play were snapped up in 27 minutes when they went on sale online Saturday.Obviously I love having that Sunday off, but Im a little behind in my matches, so I guess I had to play an extra day, Williams said.After falling an early break behind at 2-1, Williams won 11 of the final 12 games and 24 of the second sets 28 points. She finished the first set with one of her seven aces and served out the match at love.I still want to get out to a little bit of a faster start, Williams said. But I was really focused and calm today.ddddddddddddThe No. 1-ranked Williams improved to 300-42 at major tournaments.Williams will next face two-time major champion Svetlana Kuznetsova, who put aside a warning for getting coached and erased a big deficit in the third set to edge 18th-seeded Sloane Stephens 6-7 (1), 6-2, 8-6.Kuznetsova, who won the 2004 US Open and 2009 French Open, needed almost 2? hours to get past Stephens.Early in the third set, Kuznetsova argued with chair umpire Mariana Alves about whether she was receiving help from her coach, which is not allowed at Grand Slam matches.Stephens served for the match at 5-3, but Kuznetsova broke, part of a stretch in which she took five of the final six games.Williams has a 9-3 career record against Kuznetsova, but the two-time Grand Slam champion from Russia beat her this year on the hard court in Miami.She knows my game, I know her game, Williams said. Its just really down to whos really going to fight to win it.Also, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova has reached the fourth round at Wimbledon for the first time. The 23rd-seeded Russian beat No. 11 Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerland 6-3, 6-2 on Sunday.Bacsinszky made it to the quarterfinals last year but failed to break serve once on Sunday.Pavlyuchenkova will next face No. 27 Coco Vandeweghe, who beat No. 7 Roberta Vinci 6-3, 6-4 to improve to 4-0 vs. top-10 players this season.Robertas a really tough opponent, Vandeweghe said. She has a lot of craftiness to her game that you dont see too much. She makes you beat her. So thats what I tried to do, stay focused and keep pressing.Also advancing was 50th-ranked Elena Vesnina, who beat 225th-ranked American qualifier Julia Boserup 7-5, 7-5. Shell next play fellow Russian Ekaterina Makarova, a 6-4, 6-2 winner over No. 24 Barbora Strycova.ESPN Stats & Information and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
