New York Yankees defeat the Tampa Bay Rays at neutral site in New York


The New York Yankees defeated the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night.  The game took place at Citi Field in Flushing, New York and the final score was 5-1.  Citi Field wasn’t a typo, due to hurricane Irma the games were moved to a neutral site and that was the only one available that worked for everyone.  CC Sabathia started for the Yankees and he pitched well and so did the bullpen.  The Yankees offense only managed four hits but that was enough. 

Sabathia pitched 4 1/3 innings giving up six hits and a run with two walks and six strikeouts.  David Robertson won his eighth game of the season pitching 2 2/3 innings giving up a hit and he struck out four, Dellin Betances pitched an inning giving up a hit and a walk with two strikeouts and Aroldis Chapman pitched a perfect inning. 

Jake Odorizzi pitched 3 2/3 innings giving up five runs and only one was earned.  He walked three and struck out five and lost his eighth game of the season.  Chaz Roe pitched 1 1/3 innings giving up a walk and he struck out one, Andrew Kittredge pitched an inning with a strikeout and Ryne Stanek pitched an inning giving up a hit and he walked one and struck out one.  Chase Whitley pitched an inning with a walk and a strikeout and Sergio Romo pitched an inning with two strikeouts. 

Brett Gardner had a hit and drew a walk, Aaron Judge drew two walks and Gary Sanchez had a hit and drew a walk.  Didi Gregorius had an RBI and drew a walk, Jacoby Ellsbury drew a walk and Todd Frazier had a hit and three RBI.  Tyler Austin had a hit which was a double and T. Frazier hit a homerun.  The Yankees were 1-4 with runners in scoring position and left six men on base.  Ellsbury had a stolen base and Gardner was caught stealing.  Sanchez had a passed ball. 

Kevin Kiermaier had a hit, Trevor Plouffe had a hit and Evan Longoria had a hit.  Lucas Duda drew a walk, Cesar Puello drew a walk and Wilson Ramos had a hit.  Adeiny Hechavarria had three hits and an RBI, Peter Bourjos had a hit and drew a walk and Hechavarria hit a double and a triple and the Rays were 0-9 with runners in scoring position and left nine men on base.  Kiermaier was caught stealing and Plouffe and Ramos each committed an error. 

The two teams will play game two of three on Tuesday night.
