It’s only May, but it seemed like the Tampa Bay Rays had to win this series against the New York Yankees in order to keep their season hopes alive. After a crushing 3-0 defeat on Friday, it seemed like those hopes were dashed. However, thanks to our Player of the Series, the Rays were able to overcome the Yankees for the final two games of the series.
Taylor Walls proved to be an essential part of the Rays victories on Saturday and Sunday. During Saturday’s contest, Walls was at the plate with one away and the bases loaded with the Rays trailing by a run in the second inning.
