Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty ImagesThe Tampa Bay Rays salvaged the final game of the series against the Oakland to come home with a successful 5-2 roadtrip. During one of the most grueling segment of their schedule the Rays went 17-13 over 30 games in 31 days.
The New York Yankees are playing very well and have gone 9-3 over their last 12 games. The offense has began hitting putting up a .254/.352/.441 line and 125 wRC+, but the pitching has done the heavy lifting with a 2.77 ERA/3.32 FIP/3.21 xFIP.
Both teams are currently three games back from the Boston Red Sox in the AL East standings.
