The New York Yankees' second consecutive loss to Tampa Bay could push them to deal more veterans by Monday's trade deadline.
Drew Smyly struck out Alex Rodriguez three times en route to halting an 11-start winless streak as the Rays sent the Yankees to their third straight loss, 6-3 on Saturday night.
New York had won eight of 10 to reach a season-best four games over .500 before the skid, but dropped to 52-51.
