ST PETERSBURG -- A major meltdown under Teflon skies enabled the Rays to take a much-needed, come-from-behind 3-2 win over the Yankees on Tuesday night at Tropicana Field with 22,780 in attendance.
By winning, Tampa Bay snapped a three-game losing streak and gained ground in the American League East race. First-place Boston lost to Baltimore, allowing the Rays to move within seven games of the lead. The win also pulled Tampa Bay within 5 1/2 games of AL Wild Card-leading New York.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The big-time hitter the Giants have been craving showed up Tuesday night at AT&T Park.
It wasn't Carlos Beltran, who remained with the New York Mets. It wasn't Willie McCovey or Will Clark, who were both on the premises but finished terrorizing opponents decades ago.
No, the impact hitter who helped the Giants subdue the Los Angeles Dodgers, 5-3, didn't arrive by trade or the wayback machine. It was somebody who was expected all along to bolster San Francisco's offense this year: Brandon Belt.
