ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Drew Smyly found his curveball and ended a long personal skid.Smyly struck out Alex Rodriguez three times en route to stopping an 11-start winless streak, and the Tampa Bay Rays sent the New York Yankees to their third straight loss, 6-3 Saturday night.Ive been kind of fighting my offspeed pitches all season, and when youre not locating your offspeed, it makes pitching tough, Smyly said. I dont have an overpowering fastball, so I need those secondary pitches to keep the hitter off balance.Smyly (3-11) gave up two runs and four hits in six innings, and Alex Colome worked the ninth to get his 24th save. Tampa Bay is 7-5 since losing 24 of 27.Tonight was the best hes felt with his curveball in quite some time, Rays manager Kevin Cash said.Brad Miller hit a solo homer in the first, and Curt Casali had a two-run drive during the third. Tim Beckham made it 6-2 on a two-run shot in the seventh off Anthony Swarzak.Jumping on them early, I think as an offense thats a good mentality to have, Miller said. That definitely ignites everybody and gets them going.It was Smylys first win since beating Toronto on May 16 and his second over the Yankees this season.Im really excited about the way Ive been pitching after the break, and theres a lot of season left, Smyly said.New York had won eight of 10 before the skid. Having already traded closer Aroldis Chapman, the Yankees could deal right fielder Carlos Beltran, pitcher Ivan Nova, reliever Andrew Miller or others before Mondays deadline to make trades without waivers.Theyre frustrating losses, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Weve been inconsistent all season long.San Francisco and the Chicago White Sox both had two scouts at the game. Others teams scouting the series include Baltimore, the Chicago Cubs, Cleveland, Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Texas, Toronto and Washington.Brett Gardner and Chase Headley homered for the Yankees.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because teams cant announce moves until the new league year begins Wednesday. Terms of the deal werent immediately known. Speights should help fill the void left by power forward Carl Landry, who agreed to a four-year, $26 million deal with the Sacramento Kings on Saturday. Speights averaged 10.2 points and 5.1 rebounds in the final 39 games with Cleveland after coming over in a trade from Memphis last season. He will likely come off the bench for the Warriors at both power forward and centre. The 25-year-Speights was drafted 16th overrall out of Florida by Philadelphia in 2008.dddddddddddd He has averaged 7.8 points and 4.4 rebounds in his first five NBA seasons. Speights gives the Warriors another option inside off the bench who can be used in pick-and-pop situations the way Landry was so effective last season. The 6-foot-10, 255-pound Speights also can play sparingly at centre, which is the biggest need remaining for the Warriors in free agency. With Andrew Boguts ankle injuries last season, finding a reliable backup has become a more pressing need in recent weeks. Festus Ezeli will be sidelined a minimum of six to nine months after right knee surgery last month, and Andris Biedrins was traded to Utah as part of a salary-slashing move to make room for Andre Iguodalas acquisition.
