The Yankees showed resilience like this team has on many nights when things aren’t going right. This time around though, the Rays were able to hold on for a 5-4 win behind a career night from infielder Isaac Paredes with his three-homer game, and a collective effort from the bullpen.
The old adage in baseball is that you go to the ballpark and just might see something you’ve never seen before. Well, tonight’s game provided just that, and it didn’t take particularly long.
In a game that the slumping Rays particularly needed, coming off a 2-8 run over their last 10, the Tampa offense jumped on Nestor Cortes early with a pair of solo home runs by Paredes and Harold Ramírez — the second of which had some very interesting characteristics:
