NEW YORK — After a week without a win, the Tampa Bay Rays were hardly shy about describing their celebration Sunday.
James Loney got doused with an ice bucket. David DeJesus banged away on his cymbals. Loud music thumped through the clubhouse.
And it all started with Erasmo Ramirez.
The right-hander pitched out of early trouble in his latest terrific outing against the New York Yankees, and Tampa Bay took advantage of some shoddy defense for an 8-1 victory that snapped its longest losing streak of the season at seven games.
"At the plate we got going, finally," Logan Forsythe said.
