ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- What could have been an extremely difficult turnaround didn't end up so bad. The New York Yankees' game against the New York Mets on Sunday night was postponed by rain, allowing them to avoid an overnight flight to St. Petersburg for a three-game series against the Rays.
It still won't be an easy back-to-back, but the Yankees (63-34) have dropped three of their last five and the Rays (50-49) just won one of four against the Miami Marlins, salvaging that with a walk-off grand slam by Daniel Robertson on Sunday afternoon.
