New York is assured at least a tiebreaker game next week that could put the team in the playoffs for the fifth straight season. But after dropping the first two games of this series, the Yankees no longer control their own destiny to host the wild-card game. “Just a bad day for us and we've got to get over it quickly,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. Lowe batted in the eighth with an opportunity to match the major league record of four home runs in a game. Lowe and Mike Zunino homered back-to-back off Montgomery (6-7) in the third to make it 7-1.
