ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The New York Yankees second consecutive loss to Tampa Bay could push them to deal more veterans as the trade deadline pushes.Drew Smyly struck out Alex Rodriguez three times en route to stopping an 11-start winless streak, and the Rays sent the Yankees to their third straight loss, 6-3 Saturday night.New York had won eight of 10 to reach a season-best four games over .500 before the skid but dropped to 52-51.

Others teams scouting the series include Baltimore, the Chicago Cubs, Cleveland, Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Texas, Toronto and Washington.I cant worry about that, Girardi said.Not even a night off could keep Yankees catcher Brian McCann out of the spotlight. He was asked about the possibility Atlanta would try to reacquire the former Braves star.Im focusing on winning games here, said McCann, who added that he has not been approached about waiving his no-trade provision.Rodriguez, out of the starting lineup the previous six games, struck out in all four of his at-bats to tie his personal high. The 41-year-old designated hitter has two hits in his last 26 at-bats, dropping his season average to .206.I didnt do myself any favors tonight, thats for sure, Rodriguez said. I swung at balls and took strikes. Its been a frustrating season all the way around.Girardi wouldnt say if Rodriguez will be his DH on Sunday against rookie left-hander Blake Snell.The second half has been a struggle, Girardi said of Rodriguez.
