The New York Yankees dropped their fourth game in a row yesterday, against the Tampa Bay Rays, a direct rival, to make things worse. The Bombers have now lost six of their last seven contests, including a weekend sweep in the hands of the Detroit Tigers.
The Rays, on the other hand, are quickly surging, having won 16 of their last 17 games. They look confident, dangerous in the batter’s box, and deep in pitching options.
Yesterday, the Yankees’ offense flopped yet again, scoring only one run, on a Miguel Andujar homer, in the 3-1 loss.
