MLB: Florida 6, New York Yankees 5

MIAMI, June 21 (UPI) -- Hanley Ramirez and Cody Ross homered to help the Florida Marlins beat New York 6-5 Sunday after Yankees' starter CC Sabathia left with arm tightness.

Sabathia lasted 1 1/3 innings before departing with tightness in his left bicep.

"I'm not really concerned," said Sabathia -- a major free-agent acquisition for the Yankees -- who admitted he had never experienced the problem before but expected to make his next start.

Sabathia's departure left the game up to a bullpen committee. Brett Tomko (0-2), the second Yankee reliever, took the loss after giving up three runs on three hits in two innings.

Florida's Chris Volstad (5-7) broke a personal four-game losing streak with the win. He gave up three runs on five hits in six innings. Matt Lindstrom picked up his 14th save despite giving up two runs in New York's ninth-inning rally.

Alex Rodriguez was back on the field after being rested for two games. He responded with a pair of RBI on a third-inning single that staked the Yanks to a 3-1 lead.

The lead held up until the fifth inning when Florida tied the game on Ramirez's two-run homer and went ahead 4-3 on a solo shot by Ross.

Florida scored two more in the eighth when Phil Coke singled in Chris Coghlan and Ramirez raced home when the throw to the plate went past catcher Jorge Posada.

The Yankees scored twice in the top of the ninth on a triple by Brett Gardner to cut the Marlins' lead to one, but Lindstrom retired Derek Jeter on a ground ball.
