6/14 to 6/17 Series Preview: Tampa Bay Rays

After splitting with the Nationals, the Yankees welcome the Rays for four games after not playing Tampa for over two months.

The Last Time They Met

Somehow, the Yankees and Rays have only played two games this season. The Yankees swept a two-game set to start their 2018 home slate on April 3-4.

  • Opening Day was snowed out in a throwback to 1996, perhaps a good omen for things to come. Once things got underway, Didi Gregorius had a day to remember with eight RBI and two three-run homers in an 11-4 win.
  • Giancarlo Stanton had a forgettable game in his first home appearance at Yankee Stadium, striking out five times.
