It was a pitchers’ duel right until it started raining.
CC Sabathia went six innings for the first time this season, allowing just one run on six hits and two walks. Once again he fell victim to the solo home run. This time it was Willy Adames in the top of the fourth; the home run had a exit velocity of 94 miles per hour with an expected .200 batting average according to Statcast. The short porch made it a Yankee Stadium home run.
The combination of Ryne Stanek and Yonny Chirinos worked well for Tampa Bay.
