It looks like the Yankees-Rays rivalry could be heating up.
Tampa Bay pitcher Yonny Chirinos plunked Luke Voit in the shoulder area in the sixth inning of Saturday’s game at Tropicana Field. Two batters later, he also hit Gary Sanchez in the hand with a pitch that appeared to get away from him.
During this sequence, Yankees starter CC Sabathia was seen on YES Network yapping at Chirinos from the dugout, but the Bombers veteran left-hander wasn’t given a chance for payback as he was pulled and replaced by Jonathan Holder in the bottom of the inning.
