ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- First baseman Greg Bird had a double and a home run to lead the New York Yankees to a 3-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field on Wednesday.
Bird's home run off Rays reliever Andrew Bellatti hit the 'C' ring of the catwalk -- well over the right-field wall -- and gave the Yankees a 3-1 lead in the top of the ninth.
