June 19-20, 2024: at Washington (2)
Game 1: 2-6 L. LP-Scott (3-1). Starter-Patino (6 3 1 1 0 6). HR-Mead (9). The bullpen lost this one as Scott, Springs and Kittredge combined to allow 5 runs in the 7th and 8th to obliterate a 2-1 lead and waste Patino's best start of the season.
Game 2: 12-6 W. WP-Whitley (2-0). Starter-McClanahan (3.2 8 5 5 2 4). HR-J.Lowe (5), Meadows (4/14), Bregman (17), Mead (10). Rays were up 7-0 in the 1st and with Mac on the mound it seemed it'd be a breeze but the lefty had his worst start of the year and Washington pulled within 7-5 before the Rays put it away. That was largely thanks to Bregman, who was 2-5 with the homer, double and 5 RBI. Lowe's homer was a 3-run job in the 1st and the Rays ended up splitting the 4 games with the worst team in the league (23-51).
Team record: 47-27. The Yankees lost both their games to Toronto so we're once again back in first by 1/2 game. Next up: Our interleague stretch continues with 3 in Pittsburgh.
