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. Nathan Eovaldi (9-7) allowed three runs and three hits in six innings.TRAINERS ROOMRays: RHP Chase Whitley (Tommy John surgery) made his third rehab start, striking out five over three hitless innings for Double-A Montgomery.UP NEXTYankees RHP Michael Pineda (5-9) will face Snell (2-4.

The year was 2004. A then-8-year-old Irene Liao walked into a Nike store in Taiwan and saw a life-size cardboard cutout of Michael Jordan.
