Two walks and a wild pitch help Rays slide past Yankees, 1-0

In a game dominated by its pitchers, the Rays used two walks, a wild pitch, and a sacrifice fly to slip past the Yankees, 1-0.

Inheriting a scoreless game in the bottom of the eighth, Adam Ottavino walked Yoshi Tsutsugo and Kevin Kiermaier, with a strikeout of Willy Adames sandwiched in between. A wild pitch — not a passed ball — put runners on second and third, and Michael Perez, pinch hitting for Mike Zunino, hit a sacrifice fly to center field, as the Rays scored the lone run of the game in an inning where they did not record a hit.
