With a chance to clinch a postseason berth, the New York Yankees were instead rocked 12-2 by the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday to push their playoff hopes to the regular season's final day.
Yankees starter Jordan Montgomery allowed a career-worst seven earned runs in 2 2/3 innings, giving up a pair of three-run homers to Brandon Lowe, who also went deep in the seventh against Michael King.
"Just a bad day for us, and we've got to get over it quickly," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said.
