Barring something statistically impossible happening, Tampa Bay will be the last .500 or better team that the Yankees face until they head to Oakland on September 3. That sounds like good news, right?
The Last Time They Met
The Yankees visited Tampa Bay three weeks ago, and dropped two out of three. Both of their losses came by one run, which will never not be frustrating. Some notes from the series:
- The first game is probably the most notable, as it was the ‘lack of hustle‘ game for Gary Sanchez. He was, of course, placed on the disabled list the next day due to a re-aggravated groin injury, and has not played since.
