The Yankees took two of three against the Rays in their first series in late April.
New York Yankees
The Yankees winning streak of six games was snapped when they lost the two games of the series against Toronto.
Alex Rodriguez made his return from the 15-day DL on Thursday night. Rodriguez had three homers in the previous five games before hitting the disabled list.
Carlos Beltran has been solid all season posting numbers of .260 with 12 homers and 29 RBI.
Michael Pineda is 2-5 with a 6.34 ERA in nine starts. Pineda has allowed 64 hits in 49.2 innings.
The Yankees are 3-6 in Pineda’s starts this season.
Pineda is 2-2 with a 4.07 ERA on the road this season.
Tampa Bay Rays
The Rays have struggled this season mainly because they can’t get on base. Tampa Bay is 21st in batting average and 21st in on base percentage.
Tampa Bay has decent pitching as they rank 15th in ERA (4.03). The number should improve once ace Chris Archer gets going.
