NEW YORK (AP) – One home run from tying Willie Mays for fourth place at 660, A-Rod was A-Worst.

Alex Rodriguez matched a big league career-high with four strikeouts, went 0 for 6 to set a personal mark for most hitless at-bats and grounded into a game-ending double play Wednesday in the New York Yankees’ 3-2, 13-inning loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.

“I definitely chased today,” he said. “Took some very ugly swings.”

After homering twice at Tampa Bay on April 17, Rodriguez was batting .344 with four homers, 11 RBIs and a .781 slugging percentage in his return from a one-season drug suspension.

He is 5 for 36 (.139) since then, doubling and hitting home run No. 659 last Sunday night against the New York Mets. His average is down to .232 and he has driven in just the two runs in two weeks.
