The Yankees find themselves in a painfully familiar spot in today’s matinee as they look to fend off a series defeat at the hands of the Rays, who the Yanks just can’t seem to shake this season. Last night’s defeat left the Bombers just 7-7 in their 14 games against the Rays in 2018.
Masahiro Tanaka gets the ball for the Yanks, and is coming off a start where he allowed three home runs against the Rangers. Tanaka had been great prior to his last outing since his return from the DL, and he’ll look to get back on track this afternoon.
