Max Fried pitched 6 2/3 innings despite a slow start, Anthony Volpe hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the fourth inning and the host New York Yankees recorded a 7-5 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night.

The Yankees won for the fifth time in 13 games by using a pair of three-run innings to overcome a three-run deficit.

Fried (12-4) allowed a two-run triple to Jonny DeLuca during a 26-pitch first inning and a homer to Jonathan Aranda to start the third.

Fried retired then next 14 batters in a row until walking Nick Fortes with two outs in the seventh. After manager Aaron Boone visited the mound as Jonathan Loaisiga warmed up, Fried stayed in and allowed an RBI double to Taylor Walls on his 111th and final pitch.

Loaisiga finished the inning and pitched a scoreless eighth. Devin Williams allowed a run-scoring groundout by Tristan Gray in the ninth before finishing off his 17th save.

DeLuca tripled for a 2-0 lead after Volpe committed an error early in the first inning. Volpe made his second error of the game, his 15th of the season, in the ninth before Williams struck out Aranda.

Down 3-0, the Yankees rallied in the bottom of the third off Tampa Bay starter Joe Boyle (0-2). Boyle issued walks to Austin Wells and Ben Rice before Cody Bellinger blasted a 1-0 pitch into the right field seats to tie the game.

Bellinger reached 20 homers for the fifth time in his career. He has 10 long balls in his past 24 games.

Volpe snapped the tie in the fourth with an RBI single to center field to score Jasson Dominguez, who had singled, stole second and advancing to third on a fly ball.

Volpe advanced to second on a fielding error by second baseman Jose Caballero, stole third and scored on a throwing error by newly obtained Tampa Bay catcher Fortes.

Paul Goldschmidt capped New York's second three-run inning with an RBI single.

Boyle allowed six runs (four earned) on four hits in 3 1/3 innings. In his second start for the Rays, he struck out six and walked three.

The Rays fell back to .500 (54-54) as they lost for the fifth time in six games.
