Last night, the Tampa Bay Rays fell to the New York Yankees by the score of 6 to 1. With the loss, the Rays have been mathematically eliminated from the playoff picture, as their record fell to 76-81 on the season. They still have five games remaining, so there is still a chance they can finish the year a the .500 mark for the first time since 2013.
Blake Snell looked like his early season self rather than the Snell we’ve seen as of late as he lacked any command and was removed from the game after failing to record an out during the second inning.
