09/03: Yankees lose series to Devil Rays with 8-2 romping
Posted by: David
Andy Pettitte lost to Tampa Bay for only the second time in 20 career starts as he surrendered 11 hits and five runs. He was able to work his way out of several jams until he surrendered a homer to Carlos Pena to make the score 5-1. The Yankees would add a run to make it 5-2 but then Edwar Ramirez gave it right back and then some by giving up gopher balls to Josh Wilson and Akinori Iwamura.
The Bombers looked kind of flat all weekend after sweeping the Red Sox. The good news is that the Seattle Mariners have lost nine straight and the Yankees still maintain a two game lead over them.
The season gets even more interesting starting Monday afternoon when the Mariners visit the Bronx for a Labor Day afternoon tilt. Young phenom Felix Hernandez is on the hill vs. Roger Clemens in the first of a three game series.
