ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Sam Fuld and B.J. Upton both hit two-run homers to help the Tampa Bay Rays rally and hand the New York Yankees’ their sixth consecutive loss with a 6-5 victory Monday night.

The New York slide includes a three-game sweep by Boston at Yankee Stadium over the weekend that miffed team co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner. It’s the first time the Yankees have lost this many games in a row since a seven-game skid April 20-27, 2007.

Yankees starter A.J Burnett sailed through five innings and had a four-run advantage before imploding in the sixth. After Fuld homered and Matt Joyce drove in a run with a single, Upton ended Burnett’s night with his two-run drive that put Tampa Bay up 6-5.
