Rays 5, Yankees 11: Colome Roughed Up, Rays Once Again Fall To Yanks

Alex Colome is tagged for eight runs in six innings as the Rays drop to 0-7 against the Yankees this season.

Coming into tonight's game Rays' starter Alex Colome had allowed just two runs in his two starts this season. That number would be quintupled by the time he left the mound Monday. With the naked eye it was easy to see that he left too many pitches elevated, and the Yankees did not miss on seizing the opportunity to make him pay.

The command he had shown in his previous two starts simply wasn't there. He only walked one batter, his first of the season, but was missing his spots all night and leaving balls in the middle of the plate.
