With the Yankees preparing to get their rotation in order for the ALDS, the team swapped their pitching plans around to make this a bullpen game. In total, they used 11 different pitchers over the course of the game, and many of them, especially the big names, were pretty good. Unfortunately on the other side, the Rays’ bullpen was pretty good too.
The Yankees allowed just two runs on seven hits over 11+ innings, which is nothing to sneeze at. It was not enough, however, as nine Rays pitchers combined to give up just one run on seven hits in 12 innings.
