NEW YORK (AP) — James Loney hit a go-ahead infield single in the 13th inning, and the Tampa Bay Rays outlasted the New York Yankees 3-2 Wednesday to avoid a three-game sweep.

New York's Alex Rodriguez remained one home run shy of tying Willie Mays for fourth place at 660. A-Rod went 0 for 6 with four strikeouts and hit into a game-ending double play. He is 5 for 36 (.139) since April 17, when he homered twice at Tampa Bay. It was just his fifth four-strikeout game, first since 2008.

Left-hander Chasen Shreve (1-1), New York's seventh pitcher, entered in the 12th and walked Steven Sousa with one out in the 13th. Asdrubal Cabrera advanced the runner with a groundout, and Evan Longoria was intentionally walked to bring up the left-handed-hitting Loney.
