06/24: Not George, but the Rays Own the Yankees
Posted by: Michael
The Devil Rays have now just won 8 games on the road this season. Before this last series with the Yankees, they've only won 5 on the road. Ugh! This is what makes this a hard pill to swallow.
The Yankees lost to the Devil Rays last night 9-4. The Rays took the series 3 games out of 4. It would have been a sweep only if the Yankees didn't unleash terror with their bats in the 8th inning of game 2 in the series.
Wang was not his usual self last night tossing 6 innings and giving up 6 Runs - 5 ER. Keep in mind that he did pitch one spectacular gem this past Saturday against the Cubs. They took him out to keep him fresh for the start last night. Apparently that didn't work as he gave up 8 hits, and 2 of those were home runs from Jorge Cantu who drove in 4 runs for the night.
The Yankee bats were silenced after scoring 4 runs in the 3rd, they couldn't make anything happen. As A-Rod said, "They pitched well, they played good defense ... and [Hendrickson], it was one of those things where he kind of had us sleeping."
Sleeping? They had a great impersonation of Sleeping Beauty in which the "Beauty" not comes from physical attractiveness, but from the number of digits in their salary.
Jeter asks, "Who do we play next?"
That would be Pedro "The Yanks are my Daddy" Martinez (7-2) against the Moose (8-4), tonight at the Stadium.
