Yankees tie it 3 times in late innings before finally beating Rays 5-4 in 11
Trent Grisham hit a tying homer in the eighth, Anthony Volpe did the same in the ninth and Cody Bellinger evened the score again for the Yankees with an RBI triple in the 10th.
Moments later, New York took advantage of a critical balk by reliever Kevin Kelly (0-3) to remain four games behind first-place Toronto in the AL East.
Grisham's leadoff homer in the eighth and Giancarlo Stanton's run-scoring single off Bryan Baker gave the Yankees a 2-1 lead.
Josh Lowe put Tampa Bay back in front with a two-run homer off closer Devin Williams in the ninth, but Volpe went deep against Pete Fairbanks with one out in the bottom half.
Jonathan Aranda hit a bases-loaded sacrifice fly against Luke Weaver in the 10th to put the Rays ahead 4-3 — but Jasson Domínguez made a terrific leaping catch at the left-field wall to prevent additional damage on the play.
Bellinger tied it with his triple to right-center off Edwin Uceta in the bottom half.
Kelly's balk advanced runners to second and third with nobody out in the 11th, forcing the Rays to play their outfield shallow. McMahon, acquired last week from Colorado, hit a long fly to center that landed just shy of the warning track.
Tim Hill (4-3) worked a scoreless inning for the win, aided by McMahon's leaping grab at third base to snag Lowe's leadoff line drive.
Brandon Lowe doubled home a third-inning run for the Rays in his return from the injured list.
Key moment
Volpe hit his sixth homer in 12 games but committed his third throwing error in two nights at shortstop. He leads the majors with 16 errors.
Key stats
The Rays (54-55) dropped below .500 for the first time since May 24. They have lost eight of 10 and are a major league-worst 8-20 since June 27 following an MLB-best 25-9 stretch. ... Grisham set a career high with his 18th home run.
Up next
Rays RHP Ryan Pepiot (6-8, 3.42 ERA) faces RHP Marcus Stroman (2-2, 6.09) in the finale of the four-game series Thursday afternoon.

Packers cornerback Nate Hobbs remains out of practice after undergoing knee procedure
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers cornerback Nate Hobbs has undergone a surgical procedure on his knee that will keep him out of training camp for now. Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday he didn't want to speculate on when Hobbs might return. Green Bay Packers on SI first reported Hobbs' injury and said he could return in about three weeks. 'I'm not going to put a timetable on it, but unfortunately he had to have something cleaned up,' LaFleur said. 'We're hoping to get him back here sooner than later.' Hobbs didn't practice on Friday or Saturday. LaFleur said he believed the injury occurred during a collision in training camp. The Packers signed Hobbs to a four-year, $48 million contract in March after he spent his first four seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders. The 26-year-old Hobbs started 38 games, forced three fumbles and intercepted three passes during his time in Las Vegas. Hobbs is expected to help the Packers absorb the loss of two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander, who got released in June and has since signed with the Baltimore Ravens. The Packers entered training camp with Keisean Nixon, Hobbs and Carrington Valentine as their top three cornerbacks. The Packers have attempted to boost their cornerback depth by having wide receiver Bo Melton work primarily on defense in training camp. They also added a familiar face Monday by signing Corey Ballentine, three days after the Indianapolis Colts released him. Ballentine, 29, made seven starts and appeared in 37 regular-season games and three playoff contests with the Packers from 2022-24. He contributed primarily on special teams last season. '(He's) a guy that's got experience and knows our system not only on defense but on 'we-fense,'" LaFleur said, referring to the nickname the Packers have for special teams. 'Really excited to see him.' ___
