There’s no other way to say it: the Rays absolutely demolished the New York Yankees, doing more than their part in support of Team Chaos. It was a 12-2 game that wasn’t even that close. There were five homers, including three from Brandon Lowe. There was good pitching and good defense. The put the Ray’s win total at 100, and made the Yankees grasp on the wild card even more precarious.
Shane Baz got the start, facing off against lefty Jordan Montgomery. The lineup was a little wonky, with Mejía getting the start at first base.
The Rays broke out on top in the top of the first.
