The Yankees are flying high after taking two out of three from the Rays, their first series win at The Trop in two years. The Bombers are 11-4 over their last 15 games, and own a .682 winning percentage in the games since starting the season 5-10. The pitching has performed beyond anyone’s expectations while the offense has occasionally shown signs of heating up during this stretch of winning four-straight series.
Now they head to Baltimore, where they last split a four-game series at the end of April. Given the divergent expectations and aspirations of the respective teams this season, the pressure is on the visitors to come away with at least a series win.
