So much for home-field advantage. The Rays came into the now sterile Yankee Stadium and dominated the Bombers just like they were playing in Tropicana Field.
The Yankees (16-7) had their six-game winning streak snapped and their perfect record 10-0 at the Stadium this season blemished with the loss. While there are 37 games to play in the “regular” coronavirus-shortened season, the Rays (15-9) cut the Yankees lead in the American League East to 1.5 games.
“They’ve got us the last four or five so you know it’s frustrating,” said Luke Voit, who hit a home run for the second game in a row.
