I think this is the first time I’ve done one of these recaps that the Yankees actually lost, which means the relative weight of this post is a little higher than the others. The Yankees still have a commanding lead in the AL East, but with all five of their American League rivals in play on Sunday, someone is bound to make a move.
Tampa Bay Rays (43-36) 7 at Toronto Blue Jays (44-36) 3
The latest chapter in the absolute dogfight that is the middle of the AL East went for the Rays, who rode Shane Baz’s six innings with one earned run to win their third straight over the Blue Jays.
