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. 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. TRAINERS ROOM Rays: RHP Nathan Karns (0-0) will take the rotation spot of Drew Smyly, who has been shut down for the season after throwing 153 innings combined with Tampa Bay and Detroit. 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." WATCH ME When asked how a catcher should position himself for a play at home plate on a hit to left field, Girardi, a former All-Star catcher, jumped up from his seat in the press conference room to demonstrate. 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.

Its doubtful the 25-year-old Swede will play in Calgarys final exhibition game Saturday in Winnipeg.Backlund was Calgarys first-line centre for much of last season. A team that must squeeze every last goal out of its roster in 2014-15 will need all hands on deck when the Flames open the season Wednesday at home against the Vancouver Canucks.Backlund stopped skating and dryland training for a few days during camp, but has returned to the ice and the gym. Hartley was feeling more encouraged about Backlund than he was a week ago.When you have a guy in the gym or in the medical room and his injury seems to be stalled and not moving forward, you always get worried, Hartley said Thursday. Backs has the OK from the medical staff. He feels better. This morning he was flying on the ice.Now hes back in the gym, hes on the ice, so now were re-starting him. Im delighted now.Backlund arrived at Flames training camp feeling sore from off-season training in Sweden. The six-foot, 198-pound forward became uneasy about the possibility the injury required surgery.It didnt go away. It got worse, Backlund said. A week ago, we werent sure what was going to happen. I went to see the doctor and got good news and got some good treatment and thats why its been turning around and feeling a lot better.Backlund skated this week with other injured players, but is expected to participate in full practice Friday. Hartley hopes hell be ready for the season-opener.Obviously I will wait for the green light from the doctors, Hartley said. Were going to play Mikael Backlund when we feel hes 1100 per cent on the medical side and hockey-wise.dddddddddddd.The good part is he knows our systems. Its not like were putting him in Game 1 or Game 2 of the season and were worried hes going to turn left when hes supposed to turn right.Calgarys first-round pick (27th overall) in 2007 started slowly last season with two goals and six assists in his first 25 games. Backlund picked up the pace to finish with 18 goals and 21 assists in 79 games.Backlund tied for third in the NHL in short-handed goals with four and averaged 18 and a half minutes ice time per game. Backlund missed the final five games of the season with a thumb injury.I want to be better than last year, obviously, so higher than 39 (points). Ill say that out loud, he said. My goal is to have a good 82, hopefully play 82 games, and be consistent all year and not have a start like I had last year.Its my goal to be a team leader the whole season.Hes in the final year of a two-year contract that pays him $1.5 million annually, according to Capgeek.com. Backlund will become a restricted free agent next summer unless the Flames sign him to an extension.When Calgarys season concluded April 13, Backlund joined Sweden for the IIHF mens world hockey championship in Minsk, Belarus, in May.He was named an assistant captain and contributed five goals and three assists in 10 games. Backlund scored one of those goals in the bronze-medal game, which Sweden won 3-0 over the Czech Republic.Backlund had played for his country at the world championships in 2010 and 2011, but was given far more responsibility on and off the ice in Minsk.Especially to get a letter on my chest for the national team, I really proud of that, Backlund said. It was a huge thing for me.It was the first time I was the top centre for the Swedish national team. I had been in juniors, but not with the national team. It was fun and a big honour and it was great for me developmentally to be a leader on the team. ' ' '
