Rays ease past Yanks away
Tampa Bay Rays finished their four game series against Yankees with an impressive 15-8 win grabbed yesterday at the Yankee stadium where the visitors scored their first 13 points within the first half and in succession.
Rays’ lively start brought them three points only in the first term. Joyce singled to right and inning scored the first point with Upton getting to third and Longoria to second. Upton also scored a point within the same play also thanks to an error committed by fielder Swisher. Damon then hit a sacrifice fly allowing Longoria to make it three.
Jennings made it even four in the second inning after Upton tripled to center, while Upton propelled his side five points adrift after Longoria doubled to right. Things got much worse for the hosts when Zobrist hit a 385 foot homerun and Damon completed the double as just. Rays came up with yet another double in the same fourth term as Damon hit a 380 foot homer and Longoria made it 11-0.
Zobrist scored the 12th one after Birgnac singled to center and Kotchman got to second, the victory becoming just a matter of time for the Rays who were simply rallying past the East champions. Upton ended the rally in the fifth term, after Zobrist hit a sacrifice fly to right. Yankees’ first reply came in the next inning through Jones and Pena who scored a double for the hosts, including a 410 footer hit by the first one.
Nunez cut the deficit to ten points in the seventh round following Pena’s singling, while Romine scored the fourth points for New York right afterwards, following Jones’ singling. Finally, Pena and Jones brought a double to make it 6-13 but that could only trigger Rays’ two point run.
Johnson scored his first point in the eighth term, while Guyer made it 15-6 after Canzler hit a sacrifice fly to center, having Rodriguez to third. The last word belonged to New York, though, who closed the meeting with a double scored by Dickerson and Nunez who made the loss more bearable.
Said Maddon after the game: “Obviously it wasn’t all their lineup but there was a lot of good hitters in that lineup and he attacked them. His composure, Yankee Stadium, throwing strikes, all those things speak to the makeup of Matt Moore.”
