From start to finish, Tampa Bay had to gut today’s ballgame out.
Chandler Simpson made his debut, as he started in centerfield and hit leadoff. Simpson had about 10 family and friends that he left tickets for, and a few more made the trip to Tampa.
The Rays’ first inning woes would continue, as Paul Goldschmidt and Jazz Chisholm Jr contributed to a 2-0 Yankees lead in the first frame.
In the top of the second, Trent Grisham homered to make it a 3-0 New York lead.
