PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) \u2014 Taylor Walls and Jonathan Aranda had run-scoring infield grounders in the 10th inning, and the Tampa Bay Rays rallied late twice to beat the Yankees 5-4 Saturday night and extend New York\u2019s losing streak to four.<\/p>\n<p>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 gave the Yankees a 3-2 lead in the eighth but Tampa Bay tied the score in the bottom half when Nick Fortes doubled leading off against Max Fried and scored on Yandy D\u00edaz&#8217;s infield hit, a high-hopper to first baseman Ben Rice.<\/p>\n<p>Caballero had an RBI single in the 10th against Cole Sulser (1-0) for a 4-3 lead, but Chandler Simpson reached on a bunt single off David Bednar (0-2) leading off the bottom half, moving automatic runner Cedric Mullins to third, and Walls bunted to Bednar, whose throw home was too late to catch Mullins on what was ruled a single.<\/p>\n<p>D\u00edaz was intentionally walked and, with left fielder Cody Bellinger brought in on the right side of a five-man infield, Hunter Feduccia struck out.<\/p>\n<p>Aranda hit a one-hopper over Bellinger that glanced off the glove of onrushing second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., as Simpson crossed the plate standing on what was scored a fielder&#8217;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<p>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 was 0 for 3 with two walks and is hitting .212.<\/p>\n<p>Fried allowed three runs and six hits in eight innings. Rays starter Nick Martinez gave up one run in 4 2\/3 innings, Austin Wells&#8217; second-inning homer.<\/p>\n<p>Yankees RHP Cam Schlittler (2-0) and Rays RHP Drew Rasmussen (0-0) start Sunday&#8217;s series finale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ST.
