ST. PETERSBURG -- While chaos ruled inside the Rays' clubhouse on Wednesday, they continued to be a dangerous team under Tropicana Field's Teflon skies.
Despite dealing Wednesday's starter, Nathan Eovaldi, to the Red Sox before he could make his scheduled start, the Rays defeated the Yankees, 3-2. By doing so, Tampa Bay claimed the three-game series before heading to Baltimore to begin a four-game series on Thursday at Camden Yards.
Tampa Bay is now 17-4 at Tropicana Field since June 11, and it is 29-20 on the season at home.
