It what is tied for the longest homestand in Tampa Bay Rays history, the team has put up disapointing results having lost two of their three series thus far and now they’ll face their toughest test of the season as the New York Yankees come to town for a four-game set.
The Yankees enter play on Thursday with a record of 11-7, possessing a half game lead over the Toronto Blue Jays for control of the division; the Rays are 8-10, in 4th place and three games back of the division lead.
The Yankees have been led by Aaron Judge once again this year as the 32-year old outfielder and future Hall of Famer is off to one of the best starts of his career.
