ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The New York Yankees series against the Tampa Bay Rays was all about terrible timing. One hit. One sac fly. One pitch. The margin of error was razor-thin but enough for the Yankees to drop three of four contests to the Rays at Tropicana Field.
GAME 1
There wasn’t much to write home about from this one. The two teams recorded two hits apiece and the Yankees fell 1-0 on a Michael Perez sac fly in the eighth.
