NEW YORK -- After starter Chris Capuano was booed off the mound in the first inning, the New York Yankees makeshift lineup turned the mood in the Bronx a bit more festive. Mark Teixeira made up for a botched foul pop in the Rays four-run first inning with a go-ahead triple in the fifth, Brian McCann homered and drove in three runs, and the Yankees used their biggest comeback of the season to beat Tampa Bay 8-5 Wednesday night. "There was no panic," Teixeira said. "We just slowly got the job done as the night went on." The Yankees, who moved within 4 1/2 games of a playoff spot with 19 remaining, did not get off to a good start. Teixeira overran leadoff batter Ben Zobrists foul ball behind first base for no play. Zobrist then singled for his 1,000th career hit. Five of the next six Rays reached before Capuano was lifted in the shortest start of his career. By the end of the 30-minute top of the first, New York trailed 4-0. McCann got the rally started with a homer in the bottom half to end Jake Odorizzis scoreless streak at 14 1-3 innings. Filling in for injured Martin Prado, Chris Young hit his first homer with the Yankees -- he was cut by the Mets on Aug. 9 -- to tie it at 4 in the fourth. Young added an RBI double in the eighth and finished a triple shy of the cycle. Five relievers combined for 8 2-3 gritty innings, allowing seven hits, including Evan Longorias 20th homer in the ninth. Preston Claiborne (3-0) pitched two innings for the win. "We just know if we hold the game the way it is our guys could come back," said Dellin Betances, who pitched 1 1-3 scoreless innings. "It was a great win." With a full moon peeking through the clouds in centre field, the Yankees closed the gap to 4-3 in the third with the help of catcher Ryan Hanigans errant throw on ball four. Young, who singled, was running on a full-count pitch to Jacoby Ellsbury. Hanigans throw on ball four went into centre field, allowing Young to advance to third on the error. Ellsbury stole second and, one out later, McCann lined a two-run single to left field. "I thought it was a close pitch so I thought there was a chance were going to get the call, so thats why I just came up throwing," Hanigan said. McCann was hit by a pitch from Odorizzi (10-12) to start the fifth and scored when Wil Myers had trouble with Teixeiras liner into the right-field corner. Teixeira raced into third standing up with his first triple since July 6, 2012, at Boston. "It shows the character of the guys in that room, that theyre going to keep fighting," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. That was the end of the night for Odorizzi, charged with six runs and five hits in 4 1-3 innings. TRAINERS ROOM Rays: RHP Nathan Karns (0-0) will take the rotation spot of Drew Smyly, who has been shut down for the season after throwing 153 innings combined with Tampa Bay and Detroit. Yankees: DH-OF Carlos Beltran was scratched from the lineup about 90 minutes before the game because of right elbow soreness. Afterward, he said he will give it a few days before deciding if he will have to end his season early to have surgery to remove the bone spur that has been troubling him since mid-May. "Its been frustrating," Beltran said. ... Prado (hamstring) and OF Brett Gardner (abdominal strain) were also out of the lineup again. UP NEXT The AL East rivals play the finale of a three-game series Thursday with a matchup of stingy starters: the Yankees Michael Pineda (3-4) vs. the Rays Alex Cobb (9-7). Pineda has not allowed more than two earned runs in any of his nine career starts for New York. Cobb has yielded two runs or fewer in 11 straight starts, a franchise record. 1,000 HITS Zobrists accomplishment was especially meaningful to his manager. "When he first came here I would not have anticipated 1,000 hits," Joe Maddon said. "He went back to the minor leagues and came back reinvented." WATCH ME When asked how a catcher should position himself for a play at home plate on a hit to left field, Girardi, a former All-Star catcher, jumped up from his seat in the press conference room to demonstrate. He used the corner of the riser as the "plate" and proceeded to show the media how he was taught to give a lane to home plate and "then take it away" by sidestepping into the runners path.

The question is trickiest for the Algerian team, which faces a formidable German side on Monday. There are also Muslims on the Nigerian and French teams and those players also will have to weigh their religious convictions against the possible effects of fasting on their performance. "We need to discuss it among ourselves," Algerian player Djamel Mesbah said. "Its clear that our religion is very important for the team, so we will talk about it and see how to go forward." Athletes in the Olympics in 2012 faced the same hurdle, with many teams allowing their players to eat during Ramadan so as not to impair their performance and make up for it at another time or make donations to charity. While fasting during daytime over the 30 days of Ramadan, including abstaining from drinking liquids, is mandatory for all able bodied Muslims and one of the five pillars of Islam, there are exemptions, including for the sick, pregnant, infirm or elderly. Those travelling or going to war are also excluded and it is under this provision that most athletes will likely delay the fast until a more suitable time. Algerian team captain Madjid Bouguerra pointed out in interviews with the Algerian press that it is a challenge Muslim players in European clubs have long faced and when he was with the Glasgow Rangers, he fasted but made sure he kept his performance up. "The hardest thing is staying hydrated, but its ok, the weathers good here," he said. "Some players will postpone their fast for another time, but depending on my physical condition, I think I will do it." Bacary Sagna, a Muslim player in the French squad, said that many of the players who do it are used to it from their time in the European leagues and able to function. "As a Muuslim I know that there are certain rules that allow us to avoid it," he told The Associated Press in Ribeirao Preto, Brazil.dddddddddddd "Personally Im not going to do it, everyones free to do as they will and I totally respect those that will do it." From a religious standpoint, however, it becomes a bit more complex. Islam lacks a central hierarchy like the Catholic church and any imam can issue an opinion that is then obeyed depending on how much respect they command. Even in Algeria, which is bathing in the euphoria of qualifying for the second round of the World Cup for the first time in its history, there have been a range of opinions from religious scholars, with some coming out quite strongly against fasting exemptions. "It is not allowed for an Algerian player to avoiding fasting just for a game -- they must fast because God is with those who fast and young people can fast and play at the same time," said Mohammed Mekerkab, the head of Algerias association of religious scholars. He also dismissed the exemption for travel claimed by most athletes since the provision was only for voyages undertaken in the search for knowledge, health reasons or fighting jihad. Algerias government-appointed High Islamic Council, however, has come down in favour of those wanting to delay their fast. Sheikh Mohammed Sherif Kaher, the head of the councils commission for religious opinions said "those playing can abstain from fasting." Dr. Hakim Chalabi, a specialist in sports and fasting who accompanied the team to Brazil, admitted in an interview that it is a delicate question because of the need for hydration and the increased risk of injuries. He noted, though, that fasting wasnt always a total hindrance to players. "We are often asked to urge players not to fast, but oddly, in some cases, there are athletes that get better results during Ramadan because they are fasting and want to," he said. "It can be a spiritual and psychological aid."
