The Yankees offense may be sputtering but several of their AL rivals brought the fireworks to the ballpark tonight. Let’s jump right into the action.
Tampa Bay Rays (53-26) 11, Kansas City Royals (21-55) 3
On a day when Rays manager Kevin Cash benched star shortstop Wander Franco for disciplinary reasons, their offense hardly skipped a beat down one of its most potent bats. Jose Siri kicked things off with a three-run blast in the second — part of a 3-for-4, four RBI afternoon — and the bats kept rolling from there.
