The Yankees scored a total of five runs during their three-game visit to St. Petersburg this week, yet they took to the friendly skies with their first series victory at Tropicana Field since May 2019. For that, as DJ LeMahieu said, they owe their starting pitchers a debt of gratitude.
After taking the first two games of the series behind electric performances from Jordan Montgomery and Gerrit Cole, the bats went quiet behind Jameson Taillon in a 9-1 loss to the Rays on Thursday evening.
