The Rays dropped their second straight series, winning only one of three against the Yankees over the July 4 holiday, but Boston was swept at home by Detroit so the Rays actually increased the division lead back up to 8 games.

The opener looked like the type of game the Rays would win as they rallied in the bottom of the 9th to tie it up. But Justin Dunn gave up an RBI single to Luis Torrens, who had homered earlier, and the Yankees took a 5-4 win in 10 innings. While one run scored on Adley Rustchman's 1-out double in the 9th to tie it, Brandon Lowe held at 3rd, and the Rays couldn't get him home. Earlier the offense was led by Austin Meadows, 2-5 with an RBI, and Lewin Diaz, snapping out of his recent funk by going 3-5 with a ribbie. Tarik Skubal had trouble with his control and ended with a 4.2 4 3 3 5 6 line.

The Rays set off a full-blown fireworks show in the 1st inning of their July 4 game, bombarding Yankee ace Gerrit Cole for 7 runs in the first inning on their way to a 12-5 rout of New York. Joey Bart's 2-run single and Carter Kieboom's 2-run double were the big hits in the inning, and Lewin Diaz's 2-run homer (#8) capped it and chased Cole. Bart finished 3-5 with 3 RBI and Wander Franco was 2-5 with 2 RBI. Tyler Glasnow started and kind of pitched to the score, going 7 7 4 4 2 7 for the win to improve to 9-1 with his ERA ticking up to 2.45.

Transaction: Nick Anderson activated from his rehab assignment at AAA Durham, Nick Sandlin optioned there.

The Rays dropped the finale 10-4 although it was a tight 5-4 affair before the Yankees got 5 off a perhaps-not-ready-to-return Nick Anderson in the 9th. Joe Ryan had some troubles, going 5 6 5 5 0 5 and dropped to 7-6, 4.15. Austin Meadows led the offense as usual, going 2-4 with a double, homer (#19) and 3 RBI to give him 82 in 81 games this year.

Team record: 57-27. Next up: 3 games in Houston.
