NEW YORK – Some days, the Rays look every bit equipped and ready to battle the Yankees and Red Sox all the way to the of the season for a playoff spot.
And others they don’t look like there’s any way they belong.
That would now include Sunday’s 13-5 embarrassing loss, which dropped them back out of first place, and sent them into their last off-day until June 3 on a bad note, after dropping two of three for a second straight weekend.
Consider that the Rays (27-17) and Yankees were involved in a lively game, tied through five innings, when the visitors made a major mess in the sixth.
