The Rays are coming off a game in which Michael Pineda’s slider was filthy. They were on the wrong end of a perfect game until Evan Longoria ripped a slider that got too much height down the left field line in the seventh inning. Any chance of winning the game was, however, squashed with an eighth inning to forget for the Rays and their fans.
The Rays look to even up the series against a pitcher making his MLB debut. The Yankees announced they would call up left handed pitcher Jordan Montgomery to take the start Wednesday afternoon.
