Series Recap: Yankees escape after troubles at Trop

Even with fans mostly on their side, trips to Tropicana Field have not felt like a homecoming for the New York Yankees this season. A plucky Tampa Bay Rays squad took advantage of multiple miscues and earned the series victory. After gutting out the final game, the Yankees return to the Bronx in first place.

GAME 1

All losses are bad losses but the Yanks 5-4 loss to the Rays was especially frustrating. After leading most of the way at 2-1, the bullpen and defense kicked the game away.

SEVENTH INNING SLIDE

Adam Warren entered the game and yielded three consecutive singles.
