ST. PETERSBURG -- Starter Masahiro Tanaka was masterful and the New York offense was good enough to give the Yankees a 4-0 win over the Rays on Tuesday night at Tropicana Field.
Tanaka retired the first 12 batters he faced in the game, and he needed just eight pitches to make it through the second and nine in the third and fourth. He needed just 105 pitches total -- 74 for strikes -- to get through his sixth career complete game. He finished the night allowing just three hits and a walk and tied his season high with nine strikeouts.
