Complaining about officiating after a game is always annoying, but Yankees fans had a legitimate gripe after losing to the Rays on Thursday afternoon in the Bronx, 9–2.
The Rays roughed up Yankees ace Gerrit Cole to the tune of five runs in five innings. Tampa Bay starter Ryan Yarbrough, on the other hand, went the distance and allowed two runs on six hits, striking out six. (His complete game was the first by a Rays pitcher since 2016, snapping an MLB-record 731-game streak.)
Yarbrough is a weird pitcher. His primary pitch is a cutter that averages 82.
