St. Petersburg, Fla. ? Alex Rodriguez’s 23-game hitting streak is over. The New York Yankees can’t say the same about a slide that’s dropped them into last place.

Tampa Bay pitching cooled off A-Rod, and Carl Crawford’s first career grand slam rallied the Devil Rays over Chien-Ming Wang and the Yankees, 6-4, Tuesday night, extending the Yankees’ losing streak to five games.

A night after hitting his 13th and 14th homers to tie the major league record for home runs in April, Rodriguez went 0-for-3 with a walk against Scott Kazmir and Shawn Camp, who struck out the New York slugger in final at-bat. Rodriguez had hit safely in 18 consecutive games to start the season and 23 straight dating to last September.

Wang (0-1) allowed four runs and nine hits in 61â3 innings after being activated from the disabled list earlier in the day. He departed after Dioner Navarro singled and B.J. Upton doubled to start the Devil Rays’ seventh.

Reliever Luis Vizcaino walked Rocco Baldelli intentionally to load the bases. One out later, Crawford lined a 2-2 pitch into the right-field stands to erase a 3-2 deficit and give Tampa Bay a two-game sweep.
