Yankees 4, Rays 2
Jason Bartlett's first-inning homer was his 14th of the season. (AP)
By Bill Chastain / MLB.com
Jeff Niemann gave the Rays all they could've asked for, taking a shutout into the eighth against the best team in baseball, but Niemann watched as his bullpen let the Yankees take a late lead, then finish off a sweep one inning later. Jason Bartlett led off the game with a homer.
