Jazz Chisholm Jr. scored on a single by newly acquired Ryan McMahon in the 11th inning as the New York Yankees outlasted the visiting Tampa Bay Rays with a 5-4 victory on Wednesday night.
The Yankees won for the third time in four games by quickly rallying off Kevin Kelly (0-3), who started the inning by intentionally walking Jasson Dominguez then balked Chisholm to third after throwing an 0-1 pitch to McMahon.
McMahon won it, capping his fifth game with the Yankees by driving the next pitch well over center fielder Jonny DeLuca’s head as Chisholm trotted home.
McMahon’s hit gave the Yankees their fourth walk-off win on a night when they rallied four times in the final four innings to take the lead or tie the contest.
Trent Grisham hit a tying homer and Giancarlo Stanton hit a tie-breaking single in the eighth off Bryan Baker. Anthony Volpe hit a tying homer with one out in the ninth off closer Pete Fairbanks. Cody Bellinger hit a tying triple in the 10th off Edwin Uceta and the Yankees won it after Tim Hill (4-3) tossed a perfect 11th.
The Rays took a 1-0 lead into the eighth on an RBI single by Brandon Lowe in the third. Tampa Bay held a 3-2 lead after Josh Lowe hit a two-run homer in the ninth off Devin Williams, who blew his second save.
After Fairbanks blew his fourth save, the Rays went ahead in the 10th on a sacrifice fly by Jonathan Aranda with the bases loaded when Dominguez made a leaping catch in front of the left field fence.
The Rays lost for the 20th time in their past 28 games and dropped under .500 at 54-55.
New York starter Will Warren gave the Yankees a chance at the multiple late rallies by allowing one run on six hits in six innings. Warren struck out four, walked one and got nine outs on the ground.
Tampa Bay starter Zack Littell allowed two hits in five innings. He struck out four and walked four.
