New York had an opportunity to take the lead in the bottom of the fifth when Starlin Castro doubled to left, putting runners at second and third with one out. The Yankees regained the lead when Beltran lifted a sacrifice fly to right field and Brett Gardner slid home, but the inning ended when Rodriguez popped out on the first pitch.

NOTES: In Tuesday's New York Daily News, Yankees GM Brian Cashman said he was puzzled by some of CF Jacoby Ellsbury's early defensive struggles. Asked about Cashman's comments to the tabloid, manager Joe Girardi said: "I don't think he's played as well as he's capable of playing. It just seems like he's misjudged the ball a couple of times. Sometimes it's hard picking up the ball in day games with the wind and the way the ball's carrying and the weather. He's a good center fielder and he's going to play a good center field for us." ... Oakland RHP Henderson Alvarez (right shoulder surgery) will begin a rehab assignment with Class A Stockton on Wednesday. Manager Bob Melvin said Alvarez will throw three innings or about 45 pitches. ... Athletics INF Eric Sogard will likely have left knee surgery but will get a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews on Wednesday in Florida.
