The New York Yankees were defeated
by the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday night.
The game took place at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida and
the final score was 16-1. Ivan Nova
started and pitched very poorly and then left with an injury. Matt Daley who was just called up from AAA
made his season debut and pitched poorly also.
It got so bad for the Yankees that backup shortstop Dean Anna had to
pitch. Kelly Johnson drove in the only
run of the game for the Yankees.
Nova pitched four innings giving up
eight hits and eight runs. He walked one
and struck out four and suffered his second loss of the season. The bigger loss is that he is hurt now and
the Yankees wait word on how bad and how long he will be out for. Daley pitched 1 1/3 innings giving up five
hits and six runs with four of them being earned. He walked two guys, Dellin Betances pitched 1
2/3 innings giving up no hits and no runs with two walks and three strikeouts
and Anna pitched an inning giving up three hits and two runs. It was the first time Anna ever pitched in a
game.
Chris Archer won his second game of
the season pitching 6 2/3 innings giving up three hits and one run with four
strikeouts. Riefenhauser pitched 1 1/3
perfect innings and Lueke pitched a perfect inning with two strikeouts.
Jacoby Ellsbury, Alfonso Soriano
and Kelly Johnson had the only hits for the Yankees. Johnson had the only RBI and the Yankees were
0-1 with runners in scoring position and left one man on base. Ellsbury was caught stealing and Yangervis
Solarte committed an error.
Ben Zobrist had three hits, Matt
Joyce had two hits and drew a walk and Evan Longoria had two hits and four
RBI. James Loney had two hits, an RBI
and drew a walk, Wil Myers had three hits, four RBI and drew a walk and Yunel
Escobar had a hit and drew a walk. Ryan
Hanigan had three hits, six RBI and drew a walk. Joyce, Zobrist, Loney and Myers each hit a
double and Myers also hit a homerun.
Longoria hit a homerun and Hanigan hit two homeruns. The Rays were 5-11 with runners in scoring
position and left six men on base.
The Rays scored runs in the second,
third, fourth, fifth and sixth. The
Yankees only run came in the fifth inning.
This one quickly got out of hand for the Yankees. The two teams will play their fourth and
final game of the series on Sunday afternoon.
The Yankees will look to split the series and the Rays to take three out
of four.
