BALTIMORE -- Chris Young stole home in his latest surprising September performance, and the New York Yankees beat AL East-leading Baltimore 3-2 Saturday, ending the Orioles' longest winning streak of the season at six.

The Yankees bounced back after being swept in a doubleheader Friday. New York stayed on the fringe of the wild-card race while Baltimore's magic number for clinching the division remained at five.

Cut by the New York Mets earlier this year as an extended slump, Young has seemed to deliver for the Yankees on a daily basis this week.

Young added his to recent bunch of extra-base hits when he doubled during a three-run second off Miguel Gonzalez (9-8). Speedy Antoan Richardson followed with an RBI single and then took off for second, beating the throw while Young scampered home without a return toss.

Shane Greene (5-3) improved to 4-0 in seven road starts this season, including a victory at Camden Yards in July. David Robertson earned his 36th save.

RANGERS 3, BRAVES 2

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Rougned Odor's go-ahead double gave fellow rookie Lisalverto Bonilla a win in his first major league start, and the last-place Rangers handed the Braves another setback in their push for an NL wild-card spot.

Atlanta's Julio Teheran (13-12) was working on a no-hitter before a one-out single by Luis Sardinas in the sixth inning.

An error by left fielder Justin Upton kept the inning alive, and Elvis Andrus had an RBI single before Odor doubled to the warning track in left-center field, scoring Leonys Martin and Andrus.

Bonilla (1-0) allowed two runs and four hits in six innings. Neal Cotts pitched the ninth for his first save this season.

The Braves, who started the day three games behind Pittsburgh for the second NL wild-card spot, dropped to 2-6 on their nine-game road trip.

BLUE JAYS 6, RAYS 3

TORONTO -- Adam Lind hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the seventh inning for Toronto, and Edwin Encarnacion also went deep.

Lind connected off Brad Boxberger (5-2) for his first homer since June 23 against the New York Yankees. He finished 2 for 3 with a walk and three RBIs.

Encarnacion then drove the first pitch he saw from Steve Geltz into the second deck in left for the eighth time this season the Blue Jays have hit back-to-back home runs.

R.A. Dickey (13-12) allowed three runs and four hits in seven innings to win his fourth straight decision. Casey Janssen got three outs for his 23rd save.

The Blue Jays improved to 8-3 in September.

Evan Longoria hit his 21st homer for Tampa Bay.

WHITE SOX 5, TWINS 1, GAME 1

CHICAGO -- Jose Quintana struck out a career-high 13 in seven-plus innings and Alexei Ramirez homered for the White Sox in the opener of a doubleheader.

Quintana (8-10) allowed a run and three hits with two walks.

Minnesota's Phil Hughes had a career-high 11 strikeouts in seven-plus innings. He became the first Twins pitcher to have double-digit strikeouts in an outing since Francisco Liriano on July 18, 2012, against Baltimore.

Hughes (15-10) allowed five runs, three earned, and six hits.

The teams are playing a doubleheader after rain postponed Friday's series opener.

The Twins have lost 12 of 16.
