New York comes into the finale with a record of 5-9 and is last in the American League East!
Why?
Because they lost for the second straight 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.

Yesterday!
Where?
Bronx New York where they won by a score of 6-3!

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.
