Rickie Weeks Jr. hit a first-inning homer off Yankees rookie Jordan Montgomery, who struck out seven over 4 2/3 innings in his Major League debut. Rays left-hander Blake Snell lasted 4 2/3 innings, permitting two runs (none earned) on two hits.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Opening the door: Snell cruised through the first four innings before the Yanks loaded the bases in the fifth on a Chase Headley hit, Aaron Judge's walk and an error by shortstop Tim Beckham, who booted a Kyle Higashioka grounder.
