NEW YORK -- Matt Moore was all over the place with his pitches. The result of his effort, though, has the Tampa Bay Rays right where they want to be. Moore had New York flailing for five wild innings, and Tampa Bay beat the Yankees 7-0 on Tuesday night to push them to the brink of missing out on the post-season for the second time in 19 years. "You cannot be more effectively wild than he was tonight," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. Tampa Bay roughed up Hiroki Kuroda in tightening its grip on an AL wild-card spot with its fifth straight win. Matt Joyce had a leadoff homer as the Rays jumped ahead 3-0 in the first and David DeJesus had two RBI doubles. Tampa Bay has a one-game lead over Cleveland for the top wild card with five to play. Texas is two behind the Rays. Kansas City played later. The Yankees trail the Indians, who won 5-4, by five games -- and also are behind the Rangers and Royals. The Yankees would be eliminated Wednesday if Cleveland wins or they lose. "This is not a good feeling," manager Joe Girardi said. "It hurts." Moore (16-4) gave up only three hits but threw three wild pitches to up his AL-leading total to 16 and walked six. Jamey Wright and Jake Odorizzi, who earned his first career save with three innings, finished the four-hitter that ensured New York could not pass the Rays in the standings. "It was a little bit challenging out there just to kind of get you know some good sequences going where I was having a solid release point," Moore said. "I feel like I was trying to get way too aggressive with put away pitches, like I was trying to miss the bat." The defeat gave the Yankees 75 losses for the first time since they lost 86 games in 1992. The Rays got right to work against Kuroda (11-13), tagging him for three more first-inning runs. Maddon put Joyce in the top spot with hopes of getting him going. In a 3-for-41 slump coming in, Joyce connected on a 1-1 pitch for the Rays seventh leadoff homer of the season. Wil Myers followed with a single and DeJesus drove him in with a double to right field. Evan Longorias sacrifice fly capped the inning. "You set the tone right from the start," Joyce said. "Obviously Wil and David coming up behind me and not just settling for a couple of runs. But you know we kept attacking them, kept being aggressive and kept scoring and thats what its going to take." Kuroda has yielded 23 of his 77 runs this season in the first inning. After that, the biggest mystery for the eerily quiet late-season crowd of 43,407 was if the Mariano Rivera bobblehead dolls would arrive before the end of the game. The figurines were delayed by train and truck trouble in a cross-country journey, and the Yankees were forced to give out vouchers to the first 18,000 fans entitled to one of the promotional gifts in tribute to the retiring closer. Alas, the bobbleheads arrived in the third inning. The Yankees bats didnt. Ichiro Suzuki got New Yorks first hit in the bottom of third and Alex Rodriguez and Alfonso Soriano walked to load the bases but Mark Reynolds popped out to right field and Eduardo Nunez grounded into a fielders choice. The Yankees were 0 for 10 with runners in scoring position overall. "We all know the situation, but you cant win ballgames when you cant put runs on the board," said Vernon Wells, who was 0 for 4. "You give their pitcher credit but we had opportunities and didnt come through." Kuroda settled down after the first and held Tampa Bay hitless until the sixth, when James Loney doubled with the bases loaded for two runs. Kuroda extended his winless skid to eight starts, matching a career worst first done in 2008 with the Dodgers. The 38-year-old right-hander was having one of his best seasons until he was hit hard Aug. 17 at Boston. This time, he allowed five runs and five hits in 5 2-3 innings. "Im really disappointed Im not contributing to the team," Kuroda said through a translator. NOTES: Rays SS Yunel Escobar left with a sore left ankle. "Hes not awful but Im not sure about tomorrow yet," Maddon said. C Jose Lobaton has a bruised right elbow. "Hes fine I think he should be fine," Maddon said. ... Yankees RHP Phil Hughes will take LHP CC Sabathias spot in the Yankees rotation on Wednesday. Sabathia sustained a Grade 2 strain in his left hamstring in his start Friday, and was shut down for the last week of season Monday. ... Maddon had no report on OF Desmond Jennings (tight left hamstring). Jennings played catch before the game but did not run. ... The bases had plates on the sides with "Mariano Rivera" and "42."

The defence nearly pitched a shutout. And Cincinnati got plenty of help from a sloppy Tennessee team that had just received sad news. Dalton turned his first career reception into a touchdown on Sunday, and the Bengals stayed undefeated with a 33-7 victory over the Titans. The Bengals (3-0) head into their bye week with their best start in eight years and a chance to get some of their many injured players healthy. They got a lot of big plays, a few breaks and plenty of help from a team dealing with the death of a long-time player. A few hours before kickoff, the Titans (1-2) learned that kicker Rob Bironas had died overnight in a one-car crash in Nashville. Hed been released in March after his ninth season with Tennessee. Everything went wrong for the Titans, who committed a safety for holding in the end zone on a punt, missed two field goal attempts, snapped the ball before Jake Locker was ready in shotgun formation, and whiffed on the games defining play. On the final play of the first quarter, Dalton flipped the ball to receiver Mohamed Sanu, who ran to his right while the quarterback sneaked toward the other side of the field. Sanu stopped and threw a cross-field pass that hung in the air. Cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson had a chance to pick it off or level the quarterback, who was reaching to catch the ball. Wreh-Wilson ddid neither, lightly bumping Dalton as he ran by him.dddddddddddd The quarterback made the catch and ran 18 yards, diving inside the pylon at the goal line to score. He was the first NFL quarterback to score on a catch since Kansas Citys Tyler Thigpen in 2008. Daltons threw his first interception -- Cincinnatis first turnover of the season -- with 44 seconds left before halftime. But Locker forced a throw into coverage in the end zone for an off-setting interception that left the Bengals with a 19-0 halftime lead. The Bengals didnt have to do much in the second half other than let their defence finish it off. Dalton was 15 of 23 for 169 yards and wasnt sacked for the third straight game. Pro Bowl receiver A.J. Green, who missed most of the last game with an injured big right toe, started and had six catches for 102 yards. He also drew a pair of pass interference penalties from Wreh-Wilson. Giovani Bernard had a pair of 1-yard touchdown runs. His dive with 1:58 left in the third quarter completed a 14-play, 80-yard drive that lasted 7 minutes, 18 seconds and finished off Tennessee. The Titans repeatedly undercut drives with penalties. Locker was 17 of 34 for 185 yards with two interceptions, two sacks and a passer rating of 41.9. Ryan Succop missed field goal attempts of 40 and 44 yards in the first half, helping Cincinnati take control. The Titans ended the shutout on Shonn Greenes 1-yard touchdown run with 6:09 to go. ' ' '
