After wrapping up a six-game homestand, the Yankees are heading back out on the road, starting tonight with their first game of 2022 against a familiar foe.
Tonight, the Yankees are getting their first shot of the season against a team that has had their number in recent years: the Rays. Tampa Bay has won the AL East the last two seasons, knocking off the Yankees in several high-profile meetings, including the 2020 ALDS. The Yankees currently hold the lead in the division this year after their hot start, but Tampa Bay could put a big dent into that over the next four days.
