ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. � The road-weary New York Yankees headed to their new home on a high note.

Andy Pettitte pitched into the eighth inning, Robinson Cano hit a two-run homer and Derek Jeter singled in the go-ahead run in the ninth to lead the Yankees over the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 Wednesday.

Jeter also doubled in the eighth and scored the tying run on Johnny Damon's double off J.P. Howell. He delivered the tiebreaking run against Troy Percival (0-1) following a one-out double to Cody Ransom.

New York concluded a nine-game, opening trip and returned home for Thursday's debut of the $1.5 billion new Yankee Stadium, across 161st Street from the House that Ruth Built.
