The Yankees played a pretty garbage game in Minnesota to continue their underwhelming funk. Jhony Brito got out of the first against the Twins this time, but he was still sent to the showers after three runs in 2.2 innings of work. It hardly mattered how much he gave up though because the Yankees’ sorry offense had nothing on a vengeful Sonny Gray.
Around the American League, a couple of the Yankees’ rivals were going head-to-head, while the Mariners were off. Let’s check in on some of those matchups.
Tampa Bay Rays (20-3) 8, Houston Astros (12-11) 3
The Astros entered a tough series at the Trop without their best hitter, as Yordan Alvarez was sent back to Houston from Atlanta for tests on his sore neck.
