NEW YORK -- Yankees reliever Jonathan Holder created a mess when he asked catcher Brian McCann to repeat the signs in the fifth inning.Eventually, the umpires sorted it out.The crew pulled a run off the board by overturning a balk call against Holder, and then Tyler Austin homered in the ninth to lift New York over the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 on Thursday night.Holder had his foot on the rubber when he motioned with his glove for McCann to repeat the signs. First base umpire Jordan Baker called it a balk, allowing Logan Forsythe to score from third to momentarily make it 4-4.McCann and Holder argued immediately and were joined on the field by Yankees manager Joe Girardi.Crew chief Mike Everitt and the umpires conferred and changed the decision, sending Forsythe back to third and bringing Rays manager Kevin Cash out for an explanation.Basically three of the umpires felt that it was not a balk, Mike himself included, but when another umpire calls a balk he has to kind of announce it, Cash said. I have not seen the play, it was kind of a little unique.The decision cost Tampa Bay innings later when Austin ended it with his homer.Tough loss man, Cash said. I felt we did a lot of things right.Austin homered off Erasmo Ramirez (7-11) on a 3-2 pitch for his third homer since being called up Aug. 13.That was a huge team win for us, Austin said, and a special moment.McCann hit two homers for the Yankees.The pesky Rays erased three Yankees leads in the first six innings behind two homers each from Kevin Kiermaier and Steven Souza. This was the first game this season in which three players had multiple homers, per the Elias Sports Bureau.The Rays trailed three times during a 7-6 win over Baltimore on Wednesday, too.Kiermaier homered twice in the first three innings, setting a career high with his 11th homer in the third. Hes hit safely in a career-best 12 straight games, the longest streak by a Ray this season.Souza had his third multihomer game of the season, and second at Yankee Stadium. After hitting a solo homer to right-center in the second, he crushed a ball 430 feet off the glass sports bar beyond center field in the sixth for his 15th homer.The streaky Souza had been in a 5-for-40 slump without a home run.I think I got a little bit to go as far as not trying to overthink things, Souza said. ... Ive done a really poor job of sticking to my game plan.Alex Cobb made his second start since having Tommy John surgery in 2015. He allowed four runs -- three earned -- over six innings. He gave up two homers and threw 89 pitches.Tommy Layne (2-1) entered and struck out pinch-hitter Logan Morrison to end the ninth.WELCOME ABOARDNew hitting coach Chad Mottola joined the Rays after being promoted from minor league hitting coordinator when Tampa Bay fired Derek Shelton on Tuesday.SHORT SHUFFLEThe Rays signed veteran shortstop Alexei Ramirez before the game, and Cash said the team will shuffle him, Nick Franklin and Brad Miller at short, with Franklin getting the most reps.Miller left after being hit by a pitch in the right elbow in the first.

TORONTO -- The Memphis Grizzlies will be dealing with yet another injury when they play the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday at the Air Canada Centre.Point guard Mike Conley is expected to be out for about six weeks with a broken bone in his back.It is bad news for the Grizzlies (11-7), who will be facing a Raptors team that was able to rest some players down the stretch in a 122-95 home win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday.The Raptors (11-6) are 5-3 at home and the Grizzlies are 6-3 on the road.Memphis has lost two of its last three after winning six straight. The Raptors have won three in a row.Conley was injured during the third quarter of the 104-85 loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Monday after taking a charge from Michael-Kidd Gilchrist.The Grizzlies said that Conley was diagnosed with transverse fractures in the vertebrae located in his lower back. The injury is expected to resolve itself with rest. Conley is expected to miss six weeks and will be re-evaluated in four weeks.Conley scored seven points in the first four minutes of the third quarter in trying to lead a comeback from a 56-39 disadvantage at the half. The deficit had been cut to 11 points when Conley was injured. He left with 14 points and five assists.There was another setback with Mike leaving the game, Memphis guard Tony Allen said. A lot of guys looked like they were worried. I think the game got away from us at that point.At that point you are only concerned about that guys health, center Marc Gasol said. You just worry if he is OK or not.The Grizzlies said that Vince Carter also was injuured early in the fourth quarter on Monday.dddddddddddd. Carter, a former Raptors star, suffered a right hip flexor strain. He traveled with the team to Toronto and will be listed as questionable for the game.The Grizzlies already have plenty of absences.

Zach Randolph has missed the past three games after the death of his mother last week.Meanwhile, the Raptors had better news on the injury front. Center Jonas Valanciunas did not play in the fourth quarter Monday because of a minor ankle injury. The ankle was rewrapped and he could have returned but coach Dwane Casey rested him with the game well under control.Hes OK, Casey said.The Raptors concern has been the defensive part of their game. They have kept the opposition under 100 points the past two games. Casey is still not satisfied.We had a lot of defensive mistakes, Casey said Tuesday. Our defensive fundamentals, weve got to continue to work on.The Raptors easily defeated Philadelphia despite getting only 14 points from DeMar DeRozan, who has been averaging 30 per game.Teams are sending extra bodies to him, Casey said. They stay a little longer on the pin-downs.Kyle Lowry led the Raptors with 24 points and Terrence Ross scored 22 off the bench as six players hit double figures.Consistency has been huge for him, Casey said of Ross. I know he had 22 points but the most important thing is his defensive focus.
