ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Slugger Giancarlo Stanton and manager Aaron Boone both say the New York Yankees still control their destiny.

Corey Kluber limited the Yankees to a pair of singles over seven shutout innings and the Tampa Bay Rays withstood Aaron Judge's 52nd home run, beating New York 2-1 Saturday night to cut their deficit in the AL East to four games.
"We're not where we want to be," Stanton said. "But we're still in a fine opportunity, so it's ours for the taking.
