Adam Hunger / USA TODAY Sports

Bronx, NY - Chris Young broke up Alex Cobb's no-hit bid in the eighth inning, then belted a walk-off three-run homer in the ninth to give the New York Yankees a dramatic 5-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday night.

Young's one-out shot into the left-field seats on a 97 mph fastball came after Rays closer Jake McGee (4-2) hit Chase Headley with a pitch leading off the ninth inning and gave up a double to Ichiro Suzuki.

An inning earlier, Young ended Cobb's bid after 7 1/3 innings with a double to right-center field.

The Yankees won the last two games of the three-game series to finish 5-4 on a homestand.
