by the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night.
The game took place at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York and the

game of the season. David Huff pitched
an inning striking out two.
David Price won his seventh game of
the season pitching four hits and a run with three walks and nine
strikeouts. Jake McGee pitched an inning
with a strikeout, Grant Balfour pitched an inning walking two and striking out
one and saving his 11th game of the season.
Brett Gardner drew a walk, Derek
Jeter had two hits and Jacoby Ellsbury had a hit. Mark Teixeira drew a walk, Carlos Beltran
drew a walk. Kelly Johnson drew a walk
and Yangervis Solarte had a hit and drew a walk. Jeter hit a double and the Yankees were 1-9
with runners in scoring position and left eight men on base. Ellsbury and Jeter each had a stolen
base.
Desmond Jennings had two hits, Ben
Zobrist drew a walk and Matt Joyce had a hit.
Evan Longoria had two hits, James Loney had two hits and an RBI and
Logan Forsythe had two hits and an RBI. Jennings
hit a double and Loney hit a homerun.
The Rays were 1-8 with runners in scoring position and left eight men on
base. Zobrist committed an error.
In the fourth Forsythe hit an RBI
single to give the Rays a 1-0 lead. The
Yankees tied the game in the fourth on a throwing error. The Rays took a 2-1 lead in the sixth on a Loney
solo homerun and that would be the final score.
The Yankees have now lost four in a row and will try and avoid the sweep
on Wednesday afternoon.
