The New York Yankees were one pitch away from sweeping the Tampa Bay Rays but even so, they savagely took care of business by winning three of four. As has been the case, the pinstripes finished strong with a doubleheader sweep. New York improved to 13-0-1 in its past 14 series’ at Yankee Stadium.
GAME 1
It was a seesaw affair with all of the offense supplied by home runs. Travis d’Arnaud got the last word on a three-home run evening and his own personal porch party. The 5-4 loss was a tough one to take for the pinstripes.
