While the Yankees served as host to an annual Star Wars Day celebration, the on-field product that they doled out in the Bronx resembled anything but a fully operational Death Star.
Fans who sat through a 30-minute rain delay before first pitch on Sunday might've felt some spring taining vibes, as a compromised lineup missing a handful of regulars couldn't muster enough offense in a 7-5 rubber-game loss to the division-rival Rays at Yankee Stadium.
The top-heavy lineup did include the punch of Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, and Paul Goldschmidt, which drove in three runs on as many hits.
