ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A very costly victory could have been much more deflating for the Yankees whose seemingly endless river of injuries continues to flow. In the middle of a 9-4 win over the Rays in front of 17,825 at Tropicana Field last night, the Yankees lost Curtis Granderson...

Updated 12:26 am, Saturday, May 25, 2013 Outfielder Curtis Granderson broke the knuckle on his left pinky finger in the Yankees' 9-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night. Granderson missed the first 38 games this season with a broken right forearm, the result of a hit by pitch in his first at-bat at spring training. David Phelps (3-2), who retired his first 13 batters before James Loney hit a one-out double in the fifth, allowed four runs and six hits in 72/3 innings...
With a little bit of luck, no, make that late-inning relief pitching, the Yankees might be trying to catch the Rays in the AL East. The Rays entered Friday's game suffering from an epidemic of blown late-inning saves, but that didn't even come into play in this 9-4 loss.
