If you skipped this game because the Yankees' offense had you down, you missed a weird one. Although Jacoby Ellsbury started the night on the Yankees' bench (in favor of starting Aaron Hicks against lefty Matt Moore), he ended up being the hero of the game as the Yankees went on to snap their three-game losing streak.
CC Sabathia didn't get off to a great start tonight. The Rays got on the board first in the second inning after Sabathia loaded the bases then gave up a two-run double to Logan Forsythe.
