Yankees offense sputters again in second straight loss to Rays
Mark Teixeira is tagged out at the plate by Bobby Wilson to end the top of the fifth inning in the Yankees' 3-2 loss to the Rays Wednesday night. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — After a rocky start Adam Warren gave the Yankees a chance to win Monday night.
The same can’t be said about the Yankees’ bats.
For the second straight evening the Yankees jumped a Rays starter for two runs in the opening inning and then watched the bats turn into wet newspapers.
By the time the Rays took a one-run lead in the second the Yankees bats were in a coma and the main reason for a 3-2 loss in front of an announced gathering of 11,924 at Tropicana Field.
