For only the third time this season, the Yankees will play the Rays tonight. Really weird schedule this year. These two teams played two games in April and they haven’t played since. The Yankees haven’t gone to Tropicana Field yet this season either. Weird. I guess that means these two AL East rivals are going to see a lot of each other the rest of the way.
Anyway, I’ve been asking for an easy blowout win for like three days now, so there’s no sense in stopping now. How about a blowout win? The Yankees haven’t scored more than four runs in any of their last six games — they’re 4-2 in those six games because the pitching’s been pretty great — and they haven’t scored double digit runs since the Texas series almost a month ago.
