NEW YORK -- Even after ending his long losing streak, Matt Andriese was treated no better than a rookie.Andriese won for the first time since June, Corey Dickerson hit a two-run homer and the Tampa Bay Rays slowed the New York Yankees playoff charge by stopping their seven-game winning streak with a 4-2 victory Sunday.Theyre a good club right now. I mean, they got hot at the right time, theyre back in the race and its fun to take at least one from them, second baseman Logan Forsythe said.Forsythe and Brad Miller also went deep for the last-place Rays, who had dropped three straight and six of seven. But they prevented a four-game sweep behind Andriese (7-7) and Chase Whitley, who tossed two innings of relief in his Tampa Bay debut after returning from Tommy John surgery.Just very, very, very thankful, Whitley said.In the clubhouse after the game, young Rays players got some traditional rookie hazing. For the trip to Toronto, they dressed in USA wrestling uniforms -- complete with stars, stripes and cumbersome ear guards.And although Andrieses rookie status expired last year when he pitched more than 65 major league innings, there was a special outfit hanging in his locker waiting for him, too.These actually arent too bad, the pitcher said with good nature. Ill take it.Whitley struck out his first batter, rookie slugger Gary Sanchez, and gave up an unearned run. But he retired Jacoby Ellsbury on an easy fly with two runners in scoring position to protect a 4-2 lead in the seventh.It was the right-handers first major league outing since he started for the Yankees at Tampa Bay on May 14 last year.That was pretty cool. Just unbelievable, Whitley said. Ive still got a lot of friends over there. So it was just really, really fun.Whitley even took a photo with Yankees head physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad, who performed the pitchers elbow operation.Really cool moment, Whitley said.His former teammates were happy to see him back, too.It was a long road for him, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. I wish he would have gave up a few runs today, but the rest of the way I hope he does well.Dickerson and Nick Franklin both had three hits for the Rays. Millers 27th homer ended an 0-for-17 slump.Brad Boxberger worked a perfect eighth against the 3-4-5 hitters in New Yorks lineup, and Alex Colome got three quick outs for his 32nd save in 34 attempts.We could not have scripted that any better, manager Kevin Cash said. A good bounce-back win for the guys.Andriese allowed one run and six hits over five innings, snapping a seven-game losing streak with his first win since June 15 against Seattle.The right-hander won his first six decisions this season but was 0-7 with a 6.11 ERA in his past 15 outings, eight of them starts.I havent really changed the way Ive thrown, Andriese said. I dont feel like I was throwing the ball bad, its just a couple tough breaks here and there. But it definitely feels good to get back in the win column and just have a successful outing.Chase Headley homered and Brett Gardner had an RBI single among his three hits for the Yankees, who fell four games behind first-place Boston in the AL East and two back of Baltimore for the leagues second wild card.Rookie right-hander Luis Cessa (4-1) gave up all three Rays homers in 5 2/3 innings. New York lost for only the fifth time in 18 games since Aug. 23.TRAINERS ROOMRays 1B Logan Morrison strained his left wrist when he hit a foul line drive in the fourth and left the game. Felt it pop on that one swing, he said. More than likely, Im probably done for the year. Morrison returned from a strained right forearm on Aug. 15. ... Miller was back at shortstop for the first time since Thursday, when he was hit by a pitch on the right elbow. He was the DH on Friday and played first base Saturday.ROSTER MOVEAfter the game, Tampa Bay called up LHP Dana Eveland from Triple-A Durham. To make room on the 40-man roster, the Rays designated RHP Tyler Sturdevant for assignment.9/11 CEREMONIESBefore the game, Girardi and Yankees reliever Dellin Betances placed a wreath at the 9/11 Monument in Monument Park to honor those killed in the terrorist attacks 15 years ago. Following a moment of silence, FDNY firefighter Frank Pizzaro sang the national anthem while other firefighters unfurled a large American flag in center field -- the same flag displayed when President George W. Bush threw out the first pitch before Game 3 of the 2001 World Series at the original Yankee Stadium. After their roll call of Yankees starters, the Bleacher Creatures briefly chanted USA!

My fastball just stayed down the middle and he took advantage of it.Toronto has blown a lead in the ninth three times in four games, losing twice in that span.Kims decisive drive came one inning after Mark Trumbo homered off set-up man Jason Grilli. The homer was Trumbos ML-leading 46th.On Tuesday, Toronto reliever Joaquin Benoit was ruled out for the remainder of the season with a torn left calf, suffered while he ran in from the bullpen during a benches-clearing incident against New York on Monday.Its not fun to lose a teammate, no matter who it is, Grilli said.

This is what September baseball is like.With Toronto ahead 2-1, Jonathan Schoop singled with one out, pinch-runner Michael Bourn stole second and Kim homered on a 3-2 pitch into the visiting bullpen in right, causing the Orioles relievers to jump in celebration.Kim said hed never hit a bigger home run.Its hard to describe, Kim said. Its just such a great feeling.Kim is 6 for 9 with two walks as a pinch hitter.Baltimore right-hander Chris Tillman said the dramatic victory could provide the Orioles with some much-needed momentumI think that could push a team a long way, those kind of wins, Tillman said. It was a big team win and everybody played a part in it.Brian Duensing (1-0) got one out, and Zach Britton finished for his 47th save in as many tries.Zach came in there and didnt let the momentum get away from us, Showalter said.Blue Jays left-hander Fraancisco Liriano struck out 10 over six shutout innings.dddddddddddd Toronto starters have allowed one earned run or none in a team record seven straight games.Liriano was perfect until Adam Jones singled to begin the fourth.

Baltimore loaded the bases with two outs in the fifth but Davis took a called third strike.Liriano left to a standing ovation after Jonathan Schoops single put runners at first and second in the seventh. Brett Cecil came on and struck out Nolan Reimold before Troy Tulowitzki went deep into the hole to shortstop hole to retire Jones on a groundout.Tillman allowed two runs -- one earned -- and six hits in 5 2/3 innings.My fastball command wasnt there again, he said, but we were able to make some big pitches with the offspeed stuff and limit the damage.TEN SPOTBlue Jays starters recorded consecutive games with at least 10 strikeouts for the first time since Brandon Morrow and Ricky Romero did it in April 2011. Aaron Sanchez struck out 10 Tuesday.PUT A LID ON ITThe stadium roof, which was partially open when the game began, slid shut in the second inning because of an expected thunderstorm.TRAINERS ROOMBlue Jays: 2B Devon Travis (left shoulder) did not start for the second straight game.
