NEW YORK — \u2014 Junior Caminero<\/a> hit a two-run homer, Drew Rasmussen<\/a> recovered from a rocky start on the mound and the Tampa Bay Rays<\/a> beat the New York Yankees<\/a> 4-2 Monday night in the opener of a four-game series.<\/p>\n

Caminero connected against Cam Schlittler<\/a> (1-1) in the first inning for his 27th home run. Josh Lowe<\/a> hit a go-ahead single in the fifth to chase the rookie starter.<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay won for only the eighth time in 26 games to avoid falling under .500 for the first time since May 24.<\/p>\n

In the bottom of the first, the Yankees loaded the bases when Rasmussen (8-5) allowed consecutive one-out singles to Jasson Dom\u00ednguez, Cody Bellinger<\/a> and Giancarlo Stanton<\/a>. The right-hander then walked Jazz Chisholm Jr<\/a>. and issued a free pass to Ryan McMahon<\/a> two batters later, forcing in another run.<\/p>\n

But after the Yankees tied it, Rasmussen retired 12 straight and 13 of his final 14 batters. He permitted four hits and struck out five in five innings.<\/p>\n

Edwin Uceta<\/a> fanned four in two perfect innings, and Pete Fairbanks<\/a> got four outs for his 18th save.<\/p>\n

Yandy D\u00edaz added a sacrifice fly in the eighth, when the Rays had two infield hits.<\/p>\n

Schlittler allowed three runs and seven hits over 4 1\/3 innings in his third career start. <\/p>\n

The Yankees have lost eight of 12 following a five-game winning streak from July 6-11. After seeing 33 pitches in the first inning, New York managed only three baserunners.<\/p>\n

Key moments <\/p>\n

Fairbanks fanned Stanton on a high fastball with a runner on first to end the eighth. The right-hander closed it out when center fielder Jonny DeLuca<\/a> made a running catch on a flyball by Austin Wells<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Key stats <\/p>\n

Rasmussen has allowed two runs in 18 career innings at Yankee Stadium. \u2026 Caminero homered after going 1 for 12 last weekend in Cincinnati.<\/p>\n

Up next <\/p>\n

Yankees LHP Max Fried<\/a> (11-4, 2.62 ERA), who is 1-2 with a 6.75 ERA in his last four starts, faces Tampa Bay RHP Joe Boyle<\/a> (1-0, 1.42) on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
