ST. PETERSBURG — Michael Perez hit an RBI single with two outs in the ninth inning, and the Tampa Bay Rays rallied late to beat the New York Yankees 4-3 on Sunday.
Mike Brosseau started the ninth with a double off Zack Britton (0-1) but was thrown out at third on Brandon Lowe's grounder. Lowe advanced to second on a wild pitch before Manuel Margot walked.
After both runners advanced on Willy Adames' grounder to first, Perez lined a single to right as the Rays took three of four from the AL East leaders.
Perez drove in the only run on a sacrifice fly in the Rays' 1-0 victory over New York on Friday night, which was his 28th birthday.
