MLB: Tampa Bay 4, N.Y. Yankees 3 (10 inn.)

NEW YORK, May 7 (UPI) -- Carlos Pena hit a lead-off homer in the 10th inning off Phil Coke Wednesday, giving Tampa Bay a 4-3 victory over the New York Yankees.

New York rallied to tie it in the eighth on a three-run double by Mark Teixeira, after which the game was delayed 28 minutes by an intense rainstorm, but Pena won it with his major league-leading 12th home run of the year. New York lost its fifth straight.

Coke (1-2) surrendered the blast on his second pitch after entering the game as the Yankees' fifth pitcher of the night.

Pena's homer made a winner out of Grant Balfour (1-0), who threw only three pitches while recording the final out in the bottom of the ninth with runners on second and third. Troy Percival gave up a one-out double to Johnny Damon in the bottom of the 10th, but retired Teixeira and Hideki Matsui on fly balls to end the game.

With Damon having advanced to third on a wild pitch with one out, Teixeira's fly to short right was not deep enough to deliver the run.
