New York Yankees 5 – Tampa Bay Rays 3
The Yankees came into today’s game with their first series win of the season in hand but the sweep in sight.
In the first inning against the Rays starter Matt Andriese, Jacoby Ellsbury started the game with a single. He would advance to second on a balk and third on a sacrifice by Brett Gardner. One batter later, Mark Teixeira would hit a sacrifice fly to right field and the Yankees manufactured the first run of the game.
