Sanchez’s effort in question as Yankees drop opener in Tampa

TAMPA —In what turned into one of the most frustrating losses of the season, the Yankees fell just short of a series opening win, as the Rays survived 7-6, at Tropicana Field.

Gary Sanchez was the man of the hour as he was involved in two critical plays that could’ve changed the outcome of this game.

In the first inning, the Yankee catcher nonchalantly went after a passed ball, which allowed Jake Bauers to score all the way from second for the game’s opening run.

This evidently frustrated Luis Severino, who was seen arguing with Sanchez in the dugout after the inning.
