TAMPA, Fla. — \u2014 Giancarlo Stanton<\/a> had a pinch-hit, two-run home run in the 10th to lift the Yankees to a 6-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays<\/a> on Wednesday night, their first road victory in seven extra-inning games this year.<\/p>\n

Austin Wells<\/a> followed with his second homer of the night, also off Rays closer Pete Fairbanks<\/a> (4-4), and extended its winning streak to five.<\/p>\n

New York has scored 19 runs in its last two games, all on homers, the most runs for a team over two games that all crossed on homers, according to STATS. <\/p>\n

Stanton is hitting .432 with seven homers and 17 RBI in 14 games in August.<\/p>\n

The late power surge came after Rays catcher Hunter Feduccia<\/a> doubled off Yankees closer David Bednar<\/a> with two outs in the ninth, driving in two runs to tie the game. Bednar (4-5) stole the win from rookie Cam Schlittler<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Making his seventh major league start, Schlittler held the Rays scoreless and to one hit over a career-high 6 2\/3 innings. His bid for a perfect game ended when Chandler Simpson<\/a> singled to lead off the seventh. Schlittler walked two after the hit but escaped with help from reliever Luke Weaver<\/a>. Schlittler struck out eight, all swinging.<\/p>\n

Trent Grisham<\/a> led off the game with a home run and later added his second of the night in the eighth.<\/p>\n

Bob Seymour<\/a> hit his first major league home run in the eighth and drove in a run with a single off Devin Williams<\/a> in the 10th. Williams struck out the Rays top three hitters with runners on second and third to pick up his 18th save.<\/p>\n

Key Moment <\/p>\n

Down to their final out, Feduccia, who had not driven in a run all season, doubled to the center-field wall to tie the game.<\/p>\n

Key Stat <\/p>\n

The Yankees improved to 1-6 in extra-innings games on the road with the win. <\/p>\n

Up Next <\/p>\n

The Yankees return home for a series against the Red Sox with Luis Gil<\/a> (1-1, 5.14 ERA) starting. The Rays host the Cardinals with Joe Boyle<\/a> (1-2, 4.68).<\/p>\n
