Yankees blast 4 homers, take series from Rays
NEW YORK -- Gleyber Torres homered twice and Giancarlo Stanton and Oswaldo Cabrera once each during a 10-run barrage in the first two innings and the New York Yankees routed the Tampa Bay Rays 10-4 Sunday to reopen a 5 1/2-game AL East lead.
New York built a 10-1 lead with a seven-run second inning and took two of three to finish a 5-2 homestand. The Yankees' division lead, which stood at 15 1/2 games in early July, was down to 3 1/2 games after the second-place Rays won Friday's series opener. New York romped in the final two games of the series by a combined 20-7.
