ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The New York Yankees' slide continues thanks to a Rays' comeback.
Sam Fuld (FSY) and B.J. Upton (FSY) both hit two-run homers to help Tampa Bay rally and hand the Yankees' their sixth consecutive loss with a 6-5 victory Monday night.
The New York slide includes a three-game sweep by Boston at Yankee Stadium over the weekend that miffed team co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner. It's the first time the Yankees have lost this many games in a row since a seven-game skid April 20-27, 2007.
