NEW YORK (AP) -- Adam Rosales hit a two-run homer off Chris Capuano that bounced off the top of the left-field wall, Yovani Gallardo won for the second time since mid-April and the Texas Rangers sent the New York Yankees to their 10th loss in 11 games with a 5-2 victory Sunday night.
Prince Fielder had three hits and two RBIs for the Rangers, who swept the three-game series and extended a winning streak to five for the first time since September.
Texas then headed to Cleveland, where Josh Hamilton is to start in left on Monday night. The 2010 AL MVP, who has seen sidetracked by drug and alcohol problems plus shoulder surgery, was acquired from the Angels on April 27 and will be making his first appearance for the Rangers since 2012.
New York held a pregame ceremony to retire Bernie Williams' No. 51 and unveil a plaque in his honor in Monument Park, and then had another night of pitching and defensive struggles that have contributed to their worst skid in two decades. The Yankees have lost six straight in a single season for the first time since May 11-16, 2011, and have 10 defeats in an 11-game span for the first time since May 23 to June 3, 1995, according to STATS.
While the Yankees were 21-12 before play on May 12, they are now 22-22 and back at .500 for the first time since they were 7-7.
Gallardo (4-6) allowed Brian McCann's two-run single in the first, and then pitched shutout ball through the sixth and wound up giving up four hits with six strikeouts and one walk. He had been 1-5 since winning at Seattle on April 17.
Sam Freeman retired McCann on an inning-ending flyout with two on in the eighth, and Shawn Tolleson struck out the side in the ninth for his third save.
Capuano (0-2), making his second start since recovering from a strained quadriceps, allowed three runs -- two earned -- and eight hits in 4 1/3 innings, lowering his ERA to 7.36.
Fielder hit an RBI double in the first after second baseman Jose Pirela allowed Shin-Soo Choo's grounder to bounce off his glove for an error, but McCann gave the Yankees a 2-1 lead in the bottom half after shortstop Elvis Andrus allowed Brett Gardner's leadoff grounder to bounce past him for his 10th error.
Rosales, the Rangers' No. 9 batter, put Texas back ahead in the second with a 379-foot drive just over the glove of a leaping Gardner in left. The Rangers boosted their lead in the seventh against Justin Wilson after Delino DeShields tripled over center fielder Chris Young, who did not take the most direct route. Choo hit an RBI double and scored on Fielder's single high off the right-field wall.
STREAKING
Yankees reliever Dellin Betances has not allowed a hit to his last 28 batters, retiring 25, walking two -- one intentionally -- with one sacrifice fly.

Rangers: LHP Derek Holland, who hasn't pitched since his season debut April 10 because of a strained muscle in the back on his left shoulder, could start a throwing program at the end of this week.

RHP Masahiro Tanaka is scheduled to throw 60 to 65 pitches for Triple-A Scranton on Wednesday at Pawtucket and says it will be up to New York to decide whether he rejoins the major league rotation after that. ... OF Carlos Beltran missed the game because of flu-like symptoms.
UP NEXT
