For a while, it seemed like the Yankees might come up with an improbable win on Friday night. The team overcame a subpar outing from Luis Severino, as well as back from a two-run deficit. Unfortunately the bullpen coughed up a late lead and the Rays took game one by a score of 5 - 4. The Yankees have now lost three of our their first four games at Tropicana Field this season, which is rather annoying.
The Yankees’ bats actually kicked things off in the first inning, collecting three hits while plating a run.
