NEW YORK -- After starter Chris Capuano was booed off the mound in the first inning, the New York Yankees makeshift lineup turned the mood in the Bronx a bit more festive. Air Max 95 Store . Mark Teixeira made up for a botched foul pop in the Rays four-run first inning with a go-ahead triple in the fifth, Brian McCann homered and drove in three runs, and the Yankees used their biggest comeback of the season to beat Tampa Bay 8-5 Wednesday night. "There was no panic," Teixeira said. "We just slowly got the job done as the night went on." The Yankees, who moved within 4 1/2 games of a playoff spot with 19 remaining, did not get off to a good start. Teixeira overran leadoff batter Ben Zobrists foul ball behind first base for no play. Zobrist then singled for his 1,000th career hit. Five of the next six Rays reached before Capuano was lifted in the shortest start of his career. By the end of the 30-minute top of the first, New York trailed 4-0. McCann got the rally started with a homer in the bottom half to end Jake Odorizzis scoreless streak at 14 1-3 innings. Filling in for injured Martin Prado, Chris Young hit his first homer with the Yankees -- he was cut by the Mets on Aug. 9 -- to tie it at 4 in the fourth. Young added an RBI double in the eighth and finished a triple shy of the cycle. Five relievers combined for 8 2-3 gritty innings, allowing seven hits, including Evan Longorias 20th homer in the ninth. Preston Claiborne (3-0) pitched two innings for the win. "We just know if we hold the game the way it is our guys could come back," said Dellin Betances, who pitched 1 1-3 scoreless innings. "It was a great win." With a full moon peeking through the clouds in centre field, the Yankees closed the gap to 4-3 in the third with the help of catcher Ryan Hanigans errant throw on ball four. Young, who singled, was running on a full-count pitch to Jacoby Ellsbury. Hanigans throw on ball four went into centre field, allowing Young to advance to third on the error. Ellsbury stole second and, one out later, McCann lined a two-run single to left field. "I thought it was a close pitch so I thought there was a chance were going to get the call, so thats why I just came up throwing," Hanigan said. McCann was hit by a pitch from Odorizzi (10-12) to start the fifth and scored when Wil Myers had trouble with Teixeiras liner into the right-field corner. Teixeira raced into third standing up with his first triple since July 6, 2012, at Boston. "It shows the character of the guys in that room, that theyre going to keep fighting," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. That was the end of the night for Odorizzi, charged with six runs and five hits in 4 1-3 innings.

Yankees: DH-OF Carlos Beltran was scratched from the lineup about 90 minutes before the game because of right elbow soreness. Afterward, he said he will give it a few days before deciding if he will have to end his season early to have surgery to remove the bone spur that has been troubling him since mid-May. "Its been frustrating," Beltran said. ... Prado (hamstring) and OF Brett Gardner (abdominal strain) were also out of the lineup again. UP NEXT The AL East rivals play the finale of a three-game series Thursday with a matchup of stingy starters: the Yankees Michael Pineda (3-4) vs. the Rays Alex Cobb (9-7). Pineda has not allowed more than two earned runs in any of his nine career starts for New York. Cobb has yielded two runs or fewer in 11 straight starts, a franchise record. 1,000 HITS Zobrists accomplishment was especially meaningful to his manager. "When he first came here I would not have anticipated 1,000 hits," Joe Maddon said. "He went back to the minor leagues and came back reinvented."

He used the corner of the riser as the "plate" and proceeded to show the media how he was taught to give a lane to home plate and "then take it away" by sidestepping into the runners path.

Gonzalez left Fridays game at Arizona after going 0 for 3 with three strikeouts. It is his second trip to the DL this season after inflammation in his left index finger sidelined the slugger for five weeks. "You can see mental stress on him, you can see physical stress," Rockies trainer Keith Dugger said. "He made the decision to take time off, so thats where we are right now. Were going to get that ankle right. We know hes got tendinitis, weve been dealing with it. We know it isnt going away overnight or even in a week."

"Hes having some issues, not so much back pain but pain going down his leg," Dugger said. "Its not a quick fix by any means, even if we go the non-surgery route." Star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki remains on the disabled list with a left hip flexor strain but is feeling better, Dugger said. "He still has some on and off discomfort in the front of the hip there," he said. Dugger said Tulowitzki could have a torn labrum in his hip.
