NEW YORK — In his first Major League start, Jonathan Loaisiga was able to keep the Tampa Bay Rays at bay, as New York was able to win, 5-0, at Yankee Stadium.
Sporting an array of good pitches, the young right-hander struck out six Tampa batters in an impressive five-inning outing. While he did walk four and allow three hits, he was able to pitch himself out of trouble to earn himself his first career victory.

As for the offense, the Yankees had a difficult time early on getting to Nathan Eovaldi.
