We came into Yankee Stadium one behind New York and that's where we left it after splitting the two games.

The Rays exploded for 7 runs in the 4th in the opener and rode them to a 7-4 win over the Yankees. Chris Gutierrez started things with a 2-run double, Willi Castro followed with a 2-run single, and then Raimfer Salinas capped things by blasting a 3-run homer against his recent former teammates (#9/20). Shane Panzini (7-2) was rolling along, 1-hitting the Yankees through 5, but couldn't get anyone out in the 6th as the first three batters reached and the third was Gleyber Torres who homered to cut it to 7-4 and Panzini was gone, finishing 5 4 4 4 2 3. Fortunately the bullpen came through for a change today with 2 scoreless from Mike Moore, a 1-2-3 inning from Raymells Rosa in his Rays debut, and a clean 9th from Nathan Dettmer for save #7.

The offense couldn't get it done in the second game as the Yankees retook sole possession of first in a 3-1 loss. Brad Garrard (0-1) made his first start in John Swanda's stead and had a rough 2nd in which he allowed all 3 runs but held it there and finished 5 7 3 3 2 2. It didn't matter though as the bats couldn't get anything going outside of an aborted rally in the 6th which saw Kelly Crumpton double in a run and put men on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out but they failed to bring anyone else home and didn't really threaten after that.

Team record: 44-35. Next up: We return home for 3 against Toronto.
