Bronx New York!
Why?
Nick Nelson gave up a two run double to Brandon Lowe.
There were two costly errors in the eighth inning that included A Gio Urshela fielding error and an errant Rougned Odor throw served as low-lights in a fifth-inning Tampa Bay outburst facing Luis Cessa, who was knocked for four runs (one earned).
While New York lost the opening game of the three game series Tampa Bay meanwhile was on the other end of spectrum as they won the opening game of the three game series by a score of 8-2!
When?
Friday night!
Where?
Bronx New York!
Why?
Michael Wacha pitched six scoreless innings and struck out nine while allowing just one hit and two walks while the offense jumped out to an early lead, as Brandon Lowe doubled in Austin Meadows and Randy Arozarena in the first inning, and they never looked back.

Then, yesterday for the second time in the series New York lost to Tampa Bay again but that wasn’t all they did as New York also lost their fourth straight game by a score of 6-3!
Why?
Jordan Montgomery gave up a pair of homers and Rougned Odor’s first Yankee homer and a Judge RBI double closed the deficit late, but it wasn’t enough. The rivalry has grown lopsided; New York has lost 17 of 22 to the Rays since September 2019, including last year’s American League Division Series.

While Tampa Bay won another game against New York as well as the series!
When?
Yesterday!
Where?
Bronx New York where they won by a score of 6-3!
Why?
Tyler Glasnow who is a right handed pitcher struck out thirteen New York batters and held New York’s offense to just three hard-hit balls in play, none of which yielded hits.
However,
Things weren’t all going right for the right handed pitcher Tyler Glasnow who started for Tampa Bay!
Why?
In the first at-bat of the fifth, Glasnow grimaced in pain and shook off his glove, clutching his left hand. What seemed like a scary situation at first turned out to be a bout of cramps, which Glasnow addressed by quickly downing water, Gatorade and a Right Stuff energy packet.

Today New York and Tampa Bay are going to play the finale of the three game series.
Where?
Bronx New York where two right handed pitchers with the same record, different earn run averages are going to be starting the finale for New York and Tampa Bay!
Why?
Because Gerrit Cole is going to be starting for New York and Andrew Kittredge is going to be starting for Tampa Bay.
Gerrit Cole comes into the finale with a record of 2-0 with an earn run average of 1.47. In his last start, Cole settled in after a rocky beginning to retire the final 15 batters he faced in a 3-1 win over the Blue Jays. Keep in mind that Cole has a 1.52 ERA in nine starts with catcher Kyle Higashioka, including the playoffs, if that is the pairing. Andrew Kittredge comes into the game with a record of 2-0 like Gerrit Cole but has an earn run average of 1.69
The difference between Gerrit Cole and Andrew Kittredge?
Gerrit Cole has been making starts while Andrew Kittredge hasn’t!
Why?
Because he hasn’t started a game in 250 days for Tampa Bay!
Why?
Because his last start came on August 11, 2020 when they at Boston!
Because the right handed pitcher experienced elbow soreness!
When?
In the first inning after facing just two batters. After that Tampa Bay put Andrew Kittredge on the 45 -day injured list ending his season!
