It was a tough day for the Rays on multiple fronts. First, they lost starter Drew Rasmussen to the 60-day IL due to a flexor strain. That was a bit of a shock since he had just blanked the Yankees in seven excellent innings on Thursday night. Then, they squandered multiple leads in Bronx to miss out on an opportunity to keep the Yankees entrenched in the AL East cellar.
To be clear, the Yankees are still last in the East, but after a big win last night against a serious opponent, maybe things are looking up?
