American League Roundup
RAYS 7, YANKEES 5
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Scott Kazmir allowed one hit in six scoreless innings, and Tampa Bay's bullpen weathered ninth-inning home runs by Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez to hang on for a 7-5 victory over the New York Yankees last night.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Scott Kazmir allowed one hit in six scoreless innings, and Tampa Bay's bullpen weathered ninth-inning home runs by Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez to hang on for a 7-5 victory over the New York Yankees last night.
Willy Aybar homered and drove in three runs for the East-leading Rays, who avoided a three-game sweep and extended their lead in the division over second-place Boston to 3 1/2 games.
Kazmir (11-6) limited the Yankees to Cody Ransom's fifth-inning double, walked five, and struck out seven, but a high pitch count (98) prevented him from going deeper into the game. Ransom also singled off reliever Trever Miller in the seventh for New York's second hit.
Chad Bradford worked a scoreless eighth, but Tampa Bay lost its bid for its 13th shutout of the season in the ninth when Jason Hammel gave up an RBI single to Ransom, who finished 3 for 3, and home runs to Jeter and Rodriguez.
The Yankees' Darrell Rasner (5-10), 0-3 in nine starts since last winning July 12, allowed five runs and six hits in 11/3 innings. Aybar drove in the last two runs charged to the righthander with a bases-loaded single off Alfredo Aceves.
Gabe Gross, Jason Bartlett and Akinori Iwamura also had RBIs during the five-run second against the Yankees' starter.
