ESPN | Marly Rivera: In case you somehow missed it, the Yankees played a little trick on the Rays in Game Two of the ALDS, starting Deivi García to bait Tampa into dotting its lineup with left-handers, then turning to lefty J.A. Happ in the second inning. The Rays always do everything they can to secure the platoon advantage as much as possible, and the Yankees tried to counterattack. The idea has at least some merit, but it of course did not pan out smoothly, with Happ struggling in a short outing.
