Jonathan Aranda hit a two-run, walk-off homer in the 10th inning after Tampa Bay tied the game with four runs in the ninth, and the Rays beat the visiting New York Yankees 10-8 on Saturday.
The Rays snapped their four-game losing streak on Aranda's fourth homer this season, a 365-foot shot against Yoendrys Gomez (1-1) into the right-center field seats.
Edwin Uceta (1-1) pitched 1 1/3 innings of relief to earn the win for Tampa Bay, which rallied to end New York's five-game winning streak. Yandy Diaz had three hits and two RBIs and Ben Rortvedt drove in two runs.
The Rays scored four runs with one out in the bottom of the ninth against Yankees closer Devin Williams.
Chandler Simpson delivered a ground-rule double - his first career hit - to score Jose Caballero from second base. Another run scored on Diaz's infield single, and the Rays tied the game on Brandon Lowe's two-run single.
Trent Grisham hit a solo homer and Aaron Judge had three hits and three RBIs for New York, which led 6-4 before adding two runs in the ninth against Pete Fairbanks on RBI singles by Judge and Paul Goldschmidt.
New York began the game by putting its first three batters on base against Shane Baz. Goldschmidt grounded into a double play to bring in a run and Jazz Chisholm Jr. followed with a run-scoring single.
Grisham homered on a 1-1 changeup to begin the third for his fifth homer of the season.
Tampa Bay snapped a 17-plus inning scoreless streak on Diaz's two-out RBI single against Carlos Carrasco in the bottom of the third.
The Yankees added to their lead with three runs in the fourth. Baz was replaced with two on and one out by Manuel Rodriguez, who hit Ben Rice with a pitch to load the bases. Judge then singled in two runs.
Rice, who was also hit to open the game, exited with a left elbow bruise. The Yankees announced that X-rays were negative.
Baz allowed five runs on four hits over 3 1/3 innings after giving up a total of three runs in his first three starts. He walked four and struck out three.
Tampa Bay rallied with three runs in the bottom of the fourth. Jake Mangum singled in a run with one out and Rortvedt delivered a two-run single with two outs after Kameron Misner grounded into a forceout and Jose Caballero hit a ground-rule double.
