The Yankees surrendered the series finale to the Rays today, falling 8-7 due to a series of mistakes. The game was another riveting encounter between two skilled teams, with a questionable bullpen decision proving decisive.
Clarke Schmidt endured another challenging game, and the Yankees’ offense couldn’t keep pace with Tampa. However, they didn’t capitulate and showed considerable resilience during this series with the AL East leaders.
