Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - Michael Young went 2-for-5 and drove in the go- ahead run in the ninth inning, as the Texas Rangers edged the New York Yankees, 3-2, in the middle contest of a three-game set at Yankee Stadium.

Chris Davis was 1-for-3 with an RBI for the Rangers, who have won four of five overall. Jarrod Saltalamacchia had the other RBI in the win.

Kevin Millwood lasted five innings and gave up a run on five hits, but did not factor in the decision. Frank Francisco (2-2) was dealt the win as he threw a perfect eighth and C.J. Wilson earned his 19th save of the season with a scoreless ninth.

Robinson Cano was 2-for-4 with an RBI for the Yankees, who have dropped three straight tilts. Wilson Betemit tied the game in the sixth with an RBI single in a losing effort.

Joba Chamberlain was pulled in the fourth inning after control issues, having allowed two runs on five hits, while fanning six and walking four. Mariano Rivera (2-3) absorbed the loss as he gave up the game-winning run in the ninth.

"I tried to be careful, I thought I made a good pitch," Rivera said. "I can't take it back, even though that's what I want. It's part of the game."

Rivera took the hill for the Yankees in the ninth, but surrendered a leadoff double to Ian Kinsler, who stole third base. Young followed with an RBI single up the middle, and the Rangers pulled ahead 3-2.

"I thought I was going to foul a couple of balls off my shin," Kinsler said. "He threw me two cutters and tried to throw a sinker in...the guy's great, he's been great ever since he touched a baseball."

Wilson closed it out for Texas in the ninth, working around a walk to Betemit on four pitches. Melky Cabrera grounded into a double play and Johnny Damon grounded to first to make it official.

The Yankees were without the services of shortstop Derek Jeter, who was given the night off.

The Rangers jumped on top, 2-0, in the second inning. Chamberlain walked David Murphy and Marlon Byrd to start the frame before Davis belted an RBI single just out of the reach of Cabrera in center field. Saltalamacchia kept it going with another RBI single but an accurate throw from Cabrera nailed Davis at third to end the frame.

The Yankees got on the board in the fourth inning. Jason Giambi worked a one- out walk and Jorge Posada put runners on the corners with a single. Cano then laced a single to right, plating Giambi and pulling New York to within one.

New York knotted the game in the sixth inning as Josh Rupe came on in relief of Millwood. Posada started a two-out rally with a single through the right side of the infield. Cano kept it going with a single and Betemit hit an RBI single to left, and it was a 2-2 ballgame.
