ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — – Taylor Walls<\/a> and Jonathan Aranda<\/a> had run-scoring infield grounders in the 10th inning, and the Tampa Bay Rays<\/a> rallied late twice to beat the Yankees 5-4 Saturday night and extend New York’s losing streak to four.<\/p>\n

Former Ray Jos\u00e9 Caballero, in a 1-for-29 slide, twice had go-ahead hits for the Yankees. His two-out, two-run double off Bryan Baker<\/a> gave the Yankees a 3-2 lead in the eighth but Tampa Bay tied the score in the bottom half when Nick Fortes<\/a> doubled leading off against Max Fried<\/a> and scored on Yandy D\u00edaz’s infield hit, a high-hopper to first baseman Ben Rice<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Caballero had an RBI single in the 10th against Cole Sulser<\/a> (1-0) for a 4-3 lead, but Chandler Simpson<\/a> reached on a bunt single off David Bednar<\/a> (0-2) leading off the bottom half, moving automatic runner Cedric Mullins<\/a> to third, and Walls bunted to Bednar, whose throw home was too late to catch Mullins on what was ruled a single.<\/p>\n

D\u00edaz was intentionally walked and, with left fielder Cody Bellinger<\/a> brought in on the right side of a five-man infield, Hunter Feduccia<\/a> struck out.<\/p>\n

Aranda hit a one-hopper over Bellinger that glanced off the glove of onrushing second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr<\/a>., as Simpson crossed the plate standing on what was scored a fielder’s choice. After recovering the ball, Chisholm threw too late to first trying for what he thought could be a double play, hoping D\u00edaz would be ruled out for evading him on the basepath.<\/p>\n

New York is 28th in the major leagues with a .202 batting average and is hitting .142 (18 for 127) with six extra-base hits during the losing streak. Reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge<\/a> was 0 for 3 with two walks and is hitting .212.<\/p>\n

Fried allowed three runs and six hits in eight innings. Rays starter Nick Martinez<\/a> gave up one run in 4 2\/3 innings, Austin Wells<\/a>‘ second-inning homer.<\/p>\n
