Yankees eliminated despite Sabathia's 5-1 win over Red Sox (Yahoo Sports)

The Yankees spent most of the season trying to overcome an awful April. The Yankees were eliminated from playoff contention despite a 5-1 win over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night that completed a three-game sweep of the AL East champions. New York was in the bottom of the seventh inning when Baltimore's 4-0 victory at Toronto knocked out the Yankees.
