A victory, at last! With an eleventh-inning, walk-off home run last night, Clint Frazier broke the Yankees’ lengthy losing streak, which began sometime during the reign of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius. Today, they try to turn that losing streak into a winning streak.
Jordan Montgomery (2-1, 4.22 ERA, 3.69 FIP) will get the ball for the Yankees, in what will be his fourth start of the season against the Rays. His first three starts against Tampa Bay have been mixed: he gave up four earned runs apiece in the first two, but limited the Rays to only one run on two hits in six innings on May 11, striking out nine in the process.
