Over the past six seasons, has there been any more drama-filled games between two opponents other than the Rays and Yankees?
The wire-to-wire contests between the two clubs didn’t stop with this one, as things got interesting early.
In the bottom of the first, Yandy Diaz drives a pitch deep to center field, even bat-flipping after the swing thinking he got all of it.
As Yankees centerfielder Trent Grisham is tracking the ball, he suddenly changes direction as if the ball clips something mid-air.
Diaz coasts into second base wondering what happened, and a rarely-incensed Kevin Cash asks crew chief Vic Carapazza for a review to confirm the ball didn’t hit anything, presumably a catwalk, which would then be ruled a home run by Tropicana Field ground rules.
