BALTIMORE -- Held hitless through five innings by CC Sabathia and down by three runs with a rookie on the mound, the Baltimore Orioles didnt appear to be in position to muster a comeback against the New York Yankees. A couple of dinky hits and a daring move on the basepaths got the Orioles started, and Nate McLouth hit a tiebreaking home run in the seventh inning to rally Baltimore to a 4-3 victory Friday night. "Tonight was a team win because we didnt get anything until the sixth inning," said Adam Jones, who drove in the tying run. "We got everything in spurts." Sabathia was vying for his 200th win and New York manager Joe Girardi was in line for his 600th career victory, but Orioles rookie pitcher Kevin Gausman was the one who ended up celebrating a milestone win. Gausman (1-3) earned his first major league victory, allowing three hits over 4 1-3 innings as part of a relief crew that blanked the Yankees over the final six innings. Gausman followed for Rule 5 draftee T.J. McFarland, who yielded three runs in 2 2-3 innings in his first major league start. "Its funny because McFarland got his first (win) when I was pitching and I got my first when he started," Gausman said. Tommy Hunter got the final six outs for his second save. Orioles manager Buck Showalter opted against using closer Jim Johnson, who has blown five save opportunities this season. "I think hes leading the league in appearances, he pitched three out of four days, threw 60-something pitches in three days," Showalter said. "I just wanted to give him one more day. He feels good and I want to keep him that way." Sabathia (8-6) took a no-hitter and a 3-0 lead into the sixth, when it all came apart. "Weve been battling and scuffling all year, fighting through all the injuries," the left-hander said. "Then to come out here and get three and not be able to hold it... its extremely frustrating." McLouth and Casilla singled and scored on a double by Manny Machado, who was 2 for 13 lifetime against Sabathia. Machado took third on a fly ball by J.J. Hardy and came home on an infield dribbler by Jones -- a hit that mirrored Casillas earlier in the inning. "We got a couple swinging bunts there that worked out our way," Showalter said. Plus, Machado wouldnt have scored had he not advanced on the fly ball. Making the final out at third base is a cardinal sin in baseball, but Machados risk proved worthwhile. "I think thats the key to the game," Jones said. At least as significant as McLouths shot on an 80 mph slider. When the ball cleared the fence, Sabathia dropped into a crouch on the mound and wore a disgusted look on his face, about the same frown he displayed when walking off the mound. "It was just everything from the night," Sabathia said. "Like I said, not being able to hold the lead, and then the ultimate of giving up the lead and giving up the game. Its frustrating. I try not to show my emotions too much, but it happens." Sabathia allowed four runs and five hits in seven innings. He was seeking his 200th career win; instead, the left-hander fell to 17-5 lifetime against the Orioles. In the days leading up to the game, the Yankees listed David Phelps as their starter. But Sabathia got the call, and Girardi insisted the mix-up stemmed from a miscommunication between pitching coach Larry Rothschild and the teams public relations department. "In my mind, it was always CC on Friday and Phelps on Saturday," Girardi said. Robinson Cano had three hits for the Yankees to move past Frank Crosetti into 19th place on the team career list with 1,543. Cano drove in a run and scored one, but it wasnt enough to prevent New York from losing its third straight and 11th in 16 games. McFarland faced only three batters before falling into a 1-0 hole. Brett Gardner opened the game with a double and scored on a single by Cano. The Yankees got two on with one out in the second before McFarland worked out of the jam. But the rookie couldnt get through a third inning in which New York scored twice on four hits. Singles by Lance Nix, Cano and Vernon Wells produced a run, and Chris Stewart chased McFarland with a two-out RBI single for a 3-0 lead. Through five innings, the only Baltimore batter to reach was Alexi Casilla on an error by third baseman Alberto Gonzalez. In the sixth, though, the Orioles finally solved Sabathia. "I feel like Im wasting starts," he said. "Im throwing the ball good, but just not being able to put together a whole start. Its frustrating." NOTES: Commenting on the effort of injured stars Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez to return, Girardi said, "I dont know which one well see play in a game first." ...

Roy Oswalt Astros Jersey .Y. -- The Buffalo Sabres have recalled forward Kevin Porter and defenceman Chad Ruhwedel from the minors as part of a five-player roster shuffle made by the NHLs worst team.IRVING, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant will not practice Wednesday, but there remains confusion about the state of his injured right knee.Coach Jason Garrett did not answer a direct question as to whether Bryant has had an MRI yet, three days after the receiver was hurt in the Cowboys win against the Chicago Bears.Injured players are required to report for treatment the day after a game, but Garrett said the team does not have the results of an MRI. Left guard Lael Collins was hurt in the game and the Cowboys know the extent of his toe injury, and he is seeking other opinions.Hes only doing OK, Garrett said of Bryant. Hes taking it day by day and I think he feels better than he felt after the game, but again, he doesnt feel good enough to practice today. Thats certainly an indication of where he is.Bryant was injured on the second play of the game when Bears linebacker Christian Jones dragged him down after an 11-yard gain. Bryants knee and ankle got caught under Jones, and he went to the ground before getting off the field.He missed six plays before returning and finished the game with three catches for 40 yards, including a 17-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.dddddddddddd. Bryant played 52 of 68 snaps but was not on the field late in the fourth quarter as the Cowboys attempted to run out the clock.Getting the feedback from the player and how he feels and how he is able to function, obviously he was able to function pretty well at the end of the ballgame, Garrett said. He caught a slant, ran two guys over and ran it in for a touchdown, so he was feeling good enough then. Then again, well see how he feels as the week goes on and what the evaluation is medically.Bryant missed five games last season because of a broken right foot suffered in the season opener, and the Cowboys shut him down for the final two games of the season. In addition to the foot injury, Bryant was slowed by a knee injury.Garrett was asked whether Bryant could play Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers if he does not practice.Weve just got to see how he does today and as we go forward in the week, Garrett said.
