Cox, however, in his first appearance after a long layoff during which he pondered retirement, let up five runs over one inning, including a three-run home run to Brian Van Kirk.

Ravel Santana and Rafael Polo had two hits apiece, but it wasn't enough to stop Tampa Bay yesterday. Polo tripled, as did Sandy Brito, and Elio De La Rosa connected on a three-run blast n the loss. Yankees hurlers fanned nine and walked just four, but Alexander De Los Santos' four runs allowed over 1 2/3 innings ultimately did in his team.
