A field error by Colombian Gio Urshela and a mistake by newcomer Venezuelan Rougned Odor launched a four-stage rally as the Tampa Bay Rays drifted away, giving the Yankees an 8-2 loss on the board on Friday.

Serving as a starter for the Yanks, Nick Nelson allowed two rounds in a first half with 30 steps before giving the ball to Michael King, who went three walks on three throws without a score. Mike Brosseau eliminated Mexican right-hander Luis Cessa in the fifth, then scored when Urshela kicked Willy Adames.

Catcher Mike Zunino gave Tampa Bay an eight-round lead in the sixth, hitting a two-round double in the left field that prevented left-back Clint Frazier’s attempt to found.
