doubtful leading into the Notre Dame game.

TORONTO -- The New York Yankees will be trying to do something they have failed to do for the past three games when they play the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday afternoon. Vic Beasley Falcons Jersey .They will try to score a run, or even better, several of them,The Yankees have not scored in their past three games, the past two against Toronto and the first against the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday.It is the first time the Yankees have been held scoreless in three consecutive games since July 27 (a doubleheader) and July 28, 1975.Its hard to explain, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said after the 3-0 loss to the Blue Jays on Saturday afternoon. We didnt have too many opportunities today. (Toronto starter Marcus) Stroman kept us in check (for seven innings). We just werent able to get anything going off him.You hope you go out and score the first inning the next day and that it kind of gets you going. Theres no lack of effort. You become disappointed when theres a lack of effort.The Yankees have been shut out six times in September and an American League-leading 13 times overall this season. They also have lost 10 of their past 13 games and are pretty well out of the race for a wild-card spot although still mathematically alive.They also will be trying to end a seven-game losing streak at Rogers Centre when they send out right-hander Michael Pineda (6-11, 4.89 ERA) against Toronto right-hander Marco Estrada (9-9, 3.62).The Blue Jays have won six of their past nine games and occupy the first American League wild-card spot.All of their runs Saturday came on the 20th homer of the season by Jose Bautista with two outs in the eighth inning against Yankees reliever Tyler Clippard.This season has been a struggle for Bautista, who has had two stints on the disabled list that have cost him 42 games.Hes heating up at the right time, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. He has been known to do some things in key spots. I was sitting on the bench with DeMarlo (bench coach Hale) and mentioned that to him (when Bautista batted in the eighth). Right guy, right time, basically.Bautista is showing that he might be a key figure down the September stretch and into October.He hit a ninth-inning homer on Wednesday to tie the score in Seattle, a game the Blue Jays went on to lose 2-1 in 12 innings to the Mariners.Bautista, who has put the Blue Jays ahead in a game with 14 of his homers this season, was not about to point to nagging injuries this season as an excuse for a .233 batting average and lower than usual power numbers.Everybody in here has been banged up or had to deal with something so I cant really point to that as an excuse, Bautista said. Do I feel better physically? Yes. Does that help? Probably. Ive been nicked up for the past fives, six years, and Ive had success before so Im not going to use that as an excuse.Estrada, who will start the third game of the four-game series against the Yankees on Sunday, ended a three-game losing streak Monday when he held the Mariners to one hit, three walks and no runs in seven innings. He had eight strikeouts in the 3-2 victory. It was his first win since Aug. 29.In four starts in September, he is 1/3 with a 5.49 ERA. Estrada is 2-0 with a 3.79 ERA in three starts against the Yankees this season and is 3-2 with a 4.09 ERA in nine career games, including eight starts, against them.Meanwhile, Pineda has not completed five innings in three of his past four starts. He is on an eight-start winless streak that matches his career high. He is 0-1 with a 4.02 ERA during that span, although the Yankee are 4-4 in those starts.In two starts this season against Toronto, he is 0-1 with a 1.64 ERA. He is 2/3 with a 3.25 ERA in 10 career starts against the Blue Jays.It wont matter how well Pineda might pitch, however, if the Yankees do not score.Whatever were doing right now its not working, which disappointing because we swung the bats well the first two games in Tampa, said Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira, who has had a sore neck and was limited to an inning in the field for the past two games. We just seem to have lost it the last few days. Tyson Jackson Jersey . Datsyuk will miss Tuesdays game against New Jersey and could be sidelined longer, while Cleary will likely miss at least the next three games. Its been an injury-plagued season for Datsyuk, who has suited up for just 39 games. Dashon Goldson Falcons Jersey . Thats about all he can do right now, so hes trying not to think about when he might be able to play again for the Los Angeles Lakers.http:///...falcons-jersey-c-34/ . Rinne played two periods in his first game since left hip surgery in early May. Gabriel Bourque scored 3:07 into the second period and Austin Watson tallied 5:15 later for Nashville. STANFORD, Calif. -- Stanford?running back Christian McCaffrey remains questionable with an undisclosed injury heading into Saturdays game against Colorado, coach David Shaw said Tuesday.He feels a lot better, Shaw said. Well get him on the field to do some things today.McCaffrey, however, will not rejoin a full practice until later this week at the earliest. Shaw would only say McCaffrey was banged up after he left during the second half of Stanfords loss to Washington State two weeks ago.If McCaffrey doesnt rejoin practice this week, Shaw said his availability will again be a pregame decision. The Cardinal ruled McCaffrey out a few hours before their 17-10 win over Notre Dame last Saturday. Bryce Love made his first career start in that game, rushing ffor 129 yards and the winning touchdown on 6. Justin Hardy Jersey. 3 yards per carry.In other injury news, Stanford fullback Daniel Marx will miss his fourth straight game. The Cardinal might also be without versatile offensive lineman?David Bright against Colorado, as Shaw classified him as doubtful.Cornerback Alijah Holder, who has missed three straight games, has improved to questionable status this week after being termed doubtful leading into the Notre Dame game.Fellow corner Quenton Meeks and receiver Francis Owusu both went through their first game back from injury unscathed, so both are expected to be full-go against Colorado. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China ' ' '
