Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays blow ninth-inning lead, win anyway

The universe had other plans than the Yankees playing baseball on Wednesday night. Due to smoke from the Canadian wildfires making the air unhealthy and leaving the stadium looking like some kind of post-apocalyptic hellscape, last night’s scheduled game was pushed back for a planned doubleheader today.

However, there were some other places that didn’t have to deal with all that and did manage to get some action in. Here’s a look at what went down for some of the Yankees’ AL rivals yesterday.

Tampa Bay Rays (45-19) 2, Minnesota Twins (31-31) 1

After putting in a dominant pitching performance for most of the game, the Rays managed to blow a one-run lead in the top of the ninth.
