Mondays can be a pretty hit-or-miss day for baseball, with last night definitely falling into the “miss” category. Just one of the Yankees’ “rivals”, as we’ve designated them, were on the field last night, with the Rays taking on the white-hot Angels.
The Yankees took care of their own business early in the day, topping the Rangers 1-0, but despite a terrific start to the season, both the Rays and Jays are looking like tough opponents for the entire run.
The Yankees were the first team in the AL to record 20 wins, but only by a few hours, as the powerful core of the Angels lineup beat the Rays down in an 11-3 win out West.
