New York comes into the game with a record of 91-69 and is +1.0 in Wild Card games back though they’re still holding the first wild card spot though they lost the first game of their final regular season series to Tampa Bay 4-3 on Friday night and are still looking to clinch a wild card spot.
In their 4-3 loss to Tampa Bay New York rallied in the ninth inning on Friday night after scoring in the inaugural inning of the game in Bronx New York to begin final series of the regular season!
How?
Joey Gallo and Brett Gardner delivered run-scoring hits in the ninth but the rally fell short.
Why?
Gio Urshela ripped a single and so did Gardner, moving the potential tying run to second base. Kittredge struck out pinch-hitter Gary Sánchez and Rougned Odor, sealing the Rays’ 10th victory in 17 tries against the Yankees this season.
The result?
A loss and New York had their lead for the Wild Card spot trimmed to to one game over Boston , who won at Washington. The Blue Jays also won, defeating the Orioles, and they are one game behind Boston with two regular-season games remaining. The Mariners lost to the Angels to fall one game behind Boston, which reduced New York's magic number to one for clinching a Wild Card berth.
Giancarlo Stanton had this to say about New York’s loss to Tampa Bay!
We need these next two, for sure,” said Giancarlo Stanton, who stroked two hits and drove in a run. “Tonight is over with. We’ve got another one in 12 hours or so.”
“They were making good pitches, staying on the corners, not leaving too many pitches over the plate,”
When you can execute like that, you’re going to neutralize a good lineup. They’ll make mistakes, and we’ve got to capitalize.”

Tampa Bay comes into the game with a record of 99-61!

Andrew Kittridge stumbled in the ninth!
How?
The New York offense scored two runs off Andrew Kittredge to make it a one-run game, but he struck out Rougned Odor to end the game with two runners on base.
