NEW YORK -- Brandon Lowe found himself flirting with Rays infamy when he stepped to the plate in the second inning. Instead, the rookie turned the tables and got the party started in the Rays' 6-1 win over the Yankees on Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium.
Tampa Bay snapped a two-game losing streak while moving to 61-59 on the season. On Thursday, the Rays will have an opportunity to win their first series at Yankee Stadium since June 30-July 2, 2014.
Lowe had been hitless in his first 19 Major League at-bats, giving him the second-longest hitless streak to begin a career in team history.
