导出博客文章NEW YORK -- Tyler Austin wasnt sure if Yankees manager Joe Girardi would let him
face a right-hander in the ninth inning.Switch-hitting veteran Mark Teixeira was
still on the bench, and the right-handed hitting Austin isnt far removed from a
long slump.Girardi stuck with the rookie, and he came through, helping the Baby
Bombers continue their unlikely push into postseason contention.Austin hit a
solo homer in the ninth to give New York its season-high fifth straight victory,
5-4 over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday night.Brian McCann hit two homers for
the Yankees, who moved a season-high nine games over .500 (74-65).After blowing
three leads during the first six innings, New York moved within two games of
Baltimore for the second AL wild card and four games of AL East-leading Boston.
Resurgent New York plays 20 of its remaining 23 games against division
opponents, putting it in position to compete despite selling off key pieces at
the Aug. 1 deadline.I think everybody in this clubhouse believes that we can
make a push at this thing and get in the postseason, Austin said. Its an
exciting time right now.Austin homered off Erasmo Ramirez (7-11) on a 3-2 pitch
for his third homer since being called up Aug. 13. Teammates met him at home
plate by dousing him with water in a raucous celebration.That was a huge team
win for us, Austin said, and a special moment.A long one coming, too. Injuries
and poor performance slowed Austins climb through the minors, and in 2015, he
was demoted from Triple-A to Double-A during the season. He opened back at
Double-A Trenton again this season, a disappointing assignment, but then forced
his way to the majors with his bat.I didnt give up, kept battling and you know,
here we are, he said.After homering in his big league debut, Austin entered a
4-for-33 slump that ended Sunday. He since has a five-game hitting
streak.Girardi decided to let the 25-year-old Austin bat because Ramirez has
better numbers against left-handed hitters.And hes in the game, Girardi said of
Austin. A lot of times its a lot easier if youre in the game.The pesky Rays kept
coming back, getting two homers each from Kevin Kiermaier and Steven Souza by
the sixth. This was the first game this season in which three players had
multiple homers, per the Elias Sports Bureau.MAC ATTACKMcCanns homer in the
second landed in the luxury suites just below the third deck in right field. His
second put the Yankees up 4-3 in the fourth, giving him 19 for the season.The
left-handed slugger is one shy of his ninth straight 20-homer season and 10th
overall but entered on a 3-for-20 slide.You want to pull your weight around
here, McCann said. For a large part of the season, I havent been doing that. So
tonight was nice to get to some baseballs and backspin them.WELCOME ABOARDTampa
Bay hit four homers after being joined by new hitting coach Chad Mottola earlier
in the day. Mottola was promoted from minor league hitting coordinator after
Tampa Bay fired Derek Shelton on Tuesday.Kiermaier homered twice in the first
three innings, setting a career high with his 11th homer in the third. Hes hit
safely in a career-best 12 straight games, the longest streak by a Ray this
season.Souza had his third multihomer game of the season, and second at Yankee
Stadium.`PEN GAMESNew York had to use five relievers on a night when its bullpen
was already short-handed. Girardi hoped to avoid using Dellin Betances, Tyler
Clippard, Adam Warren and Luis Severino, so he had to dig deep in the bullpen
when CC Sabathia went just four innings, allowing three homers while throwing 87
pitches.Girardi was still aggressive matching up his left-handed relievers,
including when Tommy Layne (2-1) entered and struck out pinch-hitter Logan
Morrison to end the ninth.BACK IN THE GROOVEAlex Cobb made his second start
since having Tommy John surgery and allowed four runs over six innings. He gave
up two homers and threw 89 pitches.Hes around the strike zone, extremely
efficient, kept his pitch count down, gave us every opportunity to win, manager
Kevin Cash said.A SMALL PARTYThe paid attendance was 27,631, under 30,000 for
just the second time at Yankee Stadium -- the first was 27,532 on Tuesday. That
was the first time under 30,000 since 2004.BALK BACKUmpires called Yankees
reliever Jonathan Holder for a balk that let in a run in the fifth inning, then
overturned the call.Holder motioned with his glove for McCann to show him the
signs again, and first base umpire Jordan Baker called a balk, allowing Logan
Forsythe to score from third.The Yankees argued, and the umpires conferred
before overturning the decision.TO THE BALLOTSThe Staten Island Yankees, one of
New Yorks Class-A affiliates, are holding a fan vote to decide on a new team
name. The options are: Bridge Trolls, Island Heroes, Killer Bees, Pizza Rats and
Rock Pigeons.TRAINING ROOMRays: SS Matt Duffy will have surgery Friday on his
left heel. Dr. Bob Anderson, team orthopedist for the NFLs Carolina Panthers,
will perform the operation. ... RHP Chase Whitley is expected to return
following Tommy John surgery in one of the next three games. Whitley pitched for
the Yankees in 2014 and `15 but was placed on waivers and claimed by Tampa Bay
last November while recovering from the surgery.UP NEXTRays: Rookie LHP Blake
Snell (5-7, 3.39) starts vs. New York on Friday night. He struck out seven over
six innings of one-run ball in a win against Toronto last time out and has a
2.61 ERA in two starts against New York this season.Yankees: RHP Michael Pineda
(6-11, 5.10) pitches against Tampa Bay. Pineda is 0-1 with a 7.04 ERA over his
past three starts.

270 .B. -- The Baie-Comeau Drakkar took over sole possession of first
place atop the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League on Thursday with their sixth
straight win. MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Riley Ferguson threw for 189 yards and two
touchdowns and Jake Elliot kicked a trio of field goals -- including a 50-yarder
-- as Memphis built an early lead and coasted to a 43-7 victory over Kansas on
Saturday.Ferguson completed 15 of 24 passes for Memphis (2-0), the bulk of his
passing yards coming on an 84-yard completion to Anthony Miller for the games
first score. In addition to his 50-yarder, Elliot converted kicks of 41 and 42
yards.The Jayhawks, (1-2) who lost their 39th consecutive road game, struggled
offensively throughout, although they did end with 314 yards total offense. Many
times when Kansas was able to move the ball, the momentum was stalled by one of
the Jayhawks six turnovers in the game.Those miscues included a 61-yard
interception return for a touchdown by Memphis defensive tackle Jonathan Wilson.
Wilsons return late in the second quarter gave Memphis a 33-7 lead at the
break.It shocked me big time, the soft-spoken Wilson said of the play, adding he
didnt see any Jayhawks in front of him after he picked off the pass from Kansas
quarterback Montell Cozart. I was thinking `Dont let me get caught.The Jayhawks
never came close to Wilson and never came close to threatening the Tigers in the
second half after Memphis added Elliotts 50-yard field goal and a fourth-quarter
8-yard scoring run by Tony Pollard.Kansas only touchdown came on a third-and-1
play when Khalil Herbert broke the first wave of Memphis defenders bunched at
the line of scrimmage and went 66 yards for a second-quarter touchdown.That was
good to see for our line, our guys up froont, continuing to work and continuing
to push, Kansas coach David Beaty said.dddddddddddd It was a short-yardage
situation. Hes a fast kid, and it was good to see him get out.ROAD UNKIND: The
39-game losing streak means no current Jayhawk has won a game away from
Lawrence. The last road game Kansas won was 34-7 at Texas-El Paso on Sept. 12,
2009. Thirty-six of the losses have been on an opponents turf and the other
three were neutral site losses to Missouri.IF YOU CANT JOIN EM, BEAT EM: The
Tigers were playing a Big 12 Conference School for the first time since Memphis
was eliminated two weeks ago from consideration as a possible expansion target
for the conference.TAKEAWAYS:KANSAS: The Jayhawks again struggled to open the
game. Kansas, which let Ohio build a 22-0 start last week game, was again
fighting uphill Saturday. Memphis held a 19-0 lead before carrying its 33-7
advantage into halftime.MEMPHIS: The Tigers, who managed only 110 yards on the
ground in the season-opener against Southeast Missouri State, produced 205
rushing yards on Saturday, 41 of which came on a sweep from wideout Anthony
Miller in the first quarter.UP NEXT:KANSAS: The Jayhawks have a bye next week
before returning to the road to face Texas Tech on Sept. 29. It will be the
first Thursday game for the Jayhawks since a 59-7 loss to Kansas State on Oct.
14, 2010.MEMPHIS: The Tigers continue a homestand next week facing Bowling
Green. Memphis won at Bowling Green 44-41 last season.
