NEW YORK -- The Yankees have gone from perennial to millennials.With a postseason berth a longshot for a team accustomed to constant contention, New Yorks pivot to youth quickened Sunday. A 22-year-old pitcher was surrounded by a catcher and third baseman of 23, first baseman and right fielder of 24, and second baseman, shortstop and left fielder of 26.Not since the final day of the 1967 season had New Yorks lineup card included that many players yet to turn 27.Jacoby was an old man today, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said, a reference to 32-year-old center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury, the elder in his starting lineup.There will be growing pains for the Baby Bombers, as evidenced by the Tampa Bay Rays 12-3 victory.Corey Dickerson hit a three-run homer off Luis Severino, and Evan Longoria added a three-run double against reliever Luis Cessa to cap a six-run fourth inning that put the Rays ahead 8-1. Severino (1-8) was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre 10 minutes after the final out.Its frustrating to get sent up and down, but to be really successful at this level, you have to have a lot of mental toughness, and this is part of it, Girardi said. You have to able to fight through adversity.New Yorks four-game winning streak was stopped and the Yankees (60-57) dropped 4 1/2 games back for the ALs second wild card, failing in their attempt to move five games over .500 for the first time this season.On Saturday, Aaron Judge and Tyler Austin, both 24, became the first teammates to hit home runs in their first big league at-bats in the same game, a feat that led the Hall of Fame to request their bats.On another hot and steamy afternoon, Judge had an opposite-field homer over the right-field scoreboard in the third inning off Jake Odorizzi (7-5). Judge joined Joe Lefebvre (May 22-23, 1980) as the only players to homer for the Yankees in their first two big league games. One inning later, 23-year-old Gary Sanchez hit his second home run since he was brought up on Aug. 3.Its a lot of fun to watch these guys come up and have the little bit of success theyve had early on these first couple of days, said Brett Gardner, who missed his second straight game due to a swollen right ankle.After honoring reliever Mariano Rivera in a pregame ceremony to unveil his Monument Park plaque, New York started rookies in the 6-through-9 slots of its batting order. The lineups average age 26 years, 165 days was down from 31 years, 303 days from this seasons opener.Theyve always kind of been a veteran ballclub, Rays manager Kevin Cash said, but right now theyre young. So were still learning a lot of things about them.Severino allowed seven runs and eight hits in 3 2/3 innings, leaving him with a 7.19 ERA. The Yankees think he can again become a consistent starter and do not intend to shift him to the bullpen.He told me that I had to work on my changeup, the right-hander said after meeting with Girardi.Severino was 5-3 with a 2.89 ERA as a rookie in the final two months of last season. Now he is the first Yankee to lose six straight starts since Kevin Brown in 2004-05.I think his slider is better than it was last year, Girardi said, but they find your weaknesses very quickly at this level because of all the video and they see you.Judge and Austin are in the position now that Severino was last summer. Austin received 150-something text messages after Saturdays game. Judge said his message total also was in the triple digits, one of them from the family in Alaska that hosted him during summer ball five years ago.I dont think you can expect a homer every day. I think that would be a record, Girardi said, laughing. It seems like every time he hits the ball in the air, people get excited.LEFT BEHINDTwo days after his final game with the Yankees, Alex Rodriguezs gear and personal belongings were still in his locker along with his nameplate and No. 13 on his chair.TRAINERS ROOMYankees: 1B Mark Teixeira was out of the lineup for the second straight day. Girardi said Teixeira was banged up and could use consecutive days off. ... RHP Bryan Mitchell (left big toe), on the DL since spring training, allowed three runs and five hits in 2 1/3 innings for Tampa at Daytona on Saturday night in his second rehab start.UP NEXTYankees: RHP Chad Green (1-2) will be recalled from Scranton to start Mondays series opener against Toronto and R.A. Dickey (8-12). Green, who had been sent down Aug. 4, will be making his fifth start and ninth appearance of the year for New York.

Cam Serigne is tired of racking up empty stats at Wake Forest.Hes established himself as one of the Atlantic Coast Conferences best tight ends while playing for one of the leagues worst teams, and now hes dedicated this offseason to making the Demon Deacons winners again.Wake Forest has finished 3-9 in each of the redshirt juniors two years on the field.Our record hasnt shown the talent or the kind of team we had in the past, and Im hoping this year, we can show everybody that were not the typical Wake Forest 3-9, Serigne said. Thats not going to be accepted, and that cant be an option for us going forward. Were trying to change that standard. ... For me, its been great to be able to play and be able to have whatever success, but honestly, its not as satisfying as the wins.In just two years, Serigne has tied the school record for tight ends with 100 career receptions and set the program record at his position with nine touchdown catches.But none of those TDs have come in an ACC game won by the Demon Deacons: In one of the sports more bizarre stats, they have just two conference victories in the past two years and failed to score a touchdown in either of them.That has to change, Serigne said.I believe in this team, and I think the players that we have now, were so sick of losing and not getting the respect we feel we deserve, he said. We have a group of guys that are determined. ... We cant settle for 3-9 anymore. We want to start building back up.Serigne was recruited out of Ashburn, Virginia, to Wake Forest by former coach Jim Grobe and offensive coordinator Steed Lobotzke, and redshirted in 2014 during what turned out to be that staffs final season in Winston-Salem. Serigne said he gave no consideration to transferring when Grobe exited and Dave Clawson was hired to replace him.I wasnt going to bail onn Wake Forest, the school, because I love my teammates, I love the school, Serigne said.dddddddddddd I saw how great (Clawsons) track record had been. He was about football (and) he knew how to win.Its been an exercise in patience during the rebuilding project at Wake Forest, where that unexpected run to the ACC title and the Orange Bowl 10 years ago feels a lot more distant than that.The Demon Deacons leaned heavily on young players last year, with only five players on the roster in their fifth year at the school, and that made Serigne a de facto elder statesman. Hes been selected as a team captain this year, and is eager to lead the team back to respectability.Serigne caught 46 passes for 562 yards in 2015 while sharing the team lead with four touchdowns, a year after he was the teams top receiver with 54 catches for 531 yards and five scores. Hes been the primary safety valve for a pair of young quarterbacks who have shown flashes of promise -- junior John Wolford and sophomore Kendall Hinton.The Demon Deacons are counting on those two QBs -- along with everyone else on the roster -- to continue to take steps forward as they work to turn things around. Serigne said hes noticed a difference during the player-led practices this summer.We have way more depth than weve ever had, and more playmakers on the field, Serigne said. Guys are lifting a lot more in the weight room, running better -- we look more the part now than weve ever had. We have more guys making plays, knowing their assignments, playing more experienced and older than we ever have before.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap.
