Yankees pitcher Joba Chamberlain struggled yet again on Sunday, costing his team a chance to lock up a playoff berth.

With a win in Seattle, the Yankees would have clinched at least the American League Wild Card after missing the playoffs in 2008.

Chamberlain allowed seven runs in just three innings and is now winless in his last seven starts.

"I let my teammates down. It was pretty much embarrassing what I did, not being able to pick my team up and get out of here with a series win," Chamberlain said. "It will take more than this to get my confidence level down. You can kick me as much as you want but I will come back fighting every time."

New York can clinch a berth with a win against the Angels on Monday night. The Yankees have a five-game lead over the Red Sox in the AL East.
