Though the Yankees are in the midst of a generally successful 2019 season in spite of a rash of injuries, something didn’t seem quite right about sitting in second place in the division behind the Tampa Bay Rays. In the teams’ first matchup of the season, the Yankees set the record straight and cut the division gap down to just half a gamewith a 4-3 win.
The Yankees got off to a fast start against Rays hurler Tyler Glasnow. After DJ LeMahieu reached on an error, Luke Voit walked, and Gary Sanchez singled.
