ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Derek Jeter almost felt as if he were playing in the Bronx after getting a key late hit. Jeter had a tiebreaking single in the ninth inning and the New York Yankees ended a five-game skid with a 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. The announced crowd at Tropicana Field was 31,042, the Rays second home sellout this season. Tampa Bay entered with the major leagues lowest average home attendance of 17,848. "There are a lot of Yankees fans down here because spring training is here," Jeter said. "Seemed like quite a few were in the stands, so its almost like a home game." Jeter is retiring after this season and playing in his final weekend games at Tampa Bay. The Yankees do return for three weekday games in September. "Im not so sure Ive heard his name chanted that loud in an opposing stadium this year," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Brett Gardner opened the ninth with an infield single off Jake McGee (3-1) and advanced on a throwing error by second baseman Logan Forsythe. After failing to lay down a sacrifice bunt, Jeter put New York ahead with a single to right-centre on a 2-2 pitch. "This game is funny, you know," Girardi said. "It changes on a drop of a hat." Dellin Betances (5-0) worked a perfect eighth before David Robertson got three outs for his 32nd save. Rookie Shane Greene allowed two runs, seven hits and struck out a career-high 10 in six-plus innings. The Yankees took a lead in the second when Chase Headley drew a two-out walk on a full-count pitch and Martin Prado homered on an 0-2 offering from Drew Smyly, making his first home start since being acquired in a trade that sent ace David Price to Detroit on July 31. Smyly gave up two runs and four hits over seven innings. "Theyve got a really good lineup," Smyly said. "They have good strike zone awareness. You just have to keep going right at them and making them swing." Price is scheduled to pitch against Tampa Bay for the first time Thursday in the finale of a three-game series in Florida. After Yunel Escobar had a sixth-inning RBI single, Tampa Bay tied it at 2 on Ben Zobrists run-scoring grounder in the seventh. The Rays extended their club-record streak of allowing three runs or fewer to 12 consecutive games, but have gone just 7-5 over the stretch. Tampa Bay had become the fourth team ever in the majors to get back to .500 after being at least 18 games under the break-even point with a 5-0 victory Friday night over the Yankees that gave them a 61-61 record. TRAINERSS ROOM Yankees: RHP Masahiro Tanaka (right elbow) threw 25 pitches during his first bullpen session since going on the DL July 9. C Brian McCann (concussion) might return Sunday. Rays: OF David DeJesus (left hand) went 0 for 1 with a walk in his first Gulf Coast League game. JETER METER The Yankees captain has 20 career game-winning RBI hits against the Rays, which is second most against Tampa Bay. Bostons David Ortiz tops the list with 26. BELTRAN BACK Yankees RF Carlos Beltran played defence for the first time since mid-May. After a DL stint that went into early June due to a right elbow bone spur, he had been limited to DH. Beltran said he will have surgery on the elbow after the season. ON THE MOVE Tampa Bay recalled INF Vince Belnome from Triple-A Durham and optioned reliever Brandon Gomes to the International League club. Belnome went 0 for 2 with a walk. UP NEXT Yankees RHP Hiroki Kuroda (7-8), 0-3 in his last four starts against Tampa Bay, and Rays RHP Jeremy Hellickson (1-1) are Sundays scheduled starters. Pierre-Edouard Bellemare Jersey .

CINCINNATI, Ohio -- An MRI test on Friday confirmed that Bengals defensive tackle Geno Atkins tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, leaving the AFC North leaders without another star player on defence. The All-Pro lineman got the leg bent under him while trying to make a tackle during the first half of a 22-20 overtime loss at Miami on Thursday night. The medical staff initially thought hed torn the ligament, and the test a day later in Cincinnati confirmed it. The Bengals (6-3) didnt have many injuries during their opening push that left them in control of the AFC North, leading second-place Baltimore (3-4). Theyve suffered several significant injuries in the last three weeks. Top cornerback Leon Hall is out for the season with a torn Achilles tendon. Safety Taylor Mays also is gone with a dislocated shoulder. Middle linebacker Rey Maualuga got a concussion and hurt his left knee during a 49-9 win over the Jets on Sunday and was on crutches during the week, out indefinitely. Now, theyve lost their topp defensive lineman.dddddddddddd Atkins led all NFL interior linemen in sacks with 12.5 last season and topped the Bengals with six so far this year. The Bengals are short-handed on the defensive line. End Robert Geathers has been on injured reserve for most of the season with an elbow injury, and reserve tackle Devon Still has missed the last two games. "Weve lost -- between Robert and Geno -- two of the guys up front we count on for a lot," coach Marvin Lewis said. Running back Giovani Bernard had a sensational game on Thursday, picking up 79 yards on nine carries and catching four passes for 25 yards. He had a 35-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter that was one of the seasons best, slipping out of a tackle in the backfield, running to the left sideline and cutting back across the field to tie the score, slipping away from defenders along the way. He was sidelined late in the fourth quarter and in overtime by bruised ribs. Lewis said on Friday its not expected to be a long-term injury.
