ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Slade Heathcott entered the game for his defense but won it with his bat.

Heathcott, a defensive replacement in right field for Carlos Beltran, hit a three-run homer off Tampa Bay Rays closer Brad Boxberger to cap a ninth-inning rally by the New York Yankees in a 4-1 win over the Rays at Tropicana Field on Monday night.

"I'm on cloud nine," Heathcott said.
