The New York Yankees lost their first series of the season this afternoon in Tampa. The Yankees won their series with the Nationals, swept the Orioles, swept the Red Sox, then split the series with the Phillies and now have lost this series with the Tampa Bay Rays 3 games to 1.
This loss was heartbreaking for James Paxton, who has not pitched well this season in his first two starts. But today a new James Paxton showed up to pitch game 4 of the Ray’s series. He pitched with confidence and his fastball was working.
