After the Rays won the series opener against the Bronx Bombers, the Rays will try to make back-to-back wins on the road for the first time since June 26th. The Rays are sending Joe Boyle to the mound, who has been lights out. His fastball, splinker, and slider combo is a must-watch, and facing a power-heavy lineup like the Yankees makes it a very exciting matchup. On the other side of the mound, the Yankees are starting left-handed standout Max Fried, who has been one of the best pitchers in the American League so far.
The Rays started out the game perfectly as De Luca hit a two-out RBI triple to right-center to give them an early lead in the top of the first.
