Rays Beat Yankees 5-2, Take 2-0 ALDS Lead
Richie Palacios drove in two runs as Tampa Bay capitalized on four New York errors and moved within one win of the AL Championship Series.
- On Monday, the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the New York Yankees 5-2 at Tropicana Field, securing a 2-0 American League Division Series lead. A sellout crowd of 40,226 watched the Rays move within one victory of the American League Championship Series.
- The Yankees struggled defensively, committing four errors in the game. New York became the first team to commit three errors in a postseason opening inning since the Oakland Athletics in 1975, forcing starter Cam Schlittler's early departure in the fifth.
- Richie Palacios broke the game open with a two-run single in the fifth inning. While Yankees rookie Ben Rice hit two solo home runs, the Rays' bullpen limited New York to just two runs across nine innings.
- Following the loss, the Yankees face elimination as the best-of-five series shifts to the Bronx. New York has scored only two runs in two games, compounded by the absence of three-time AL MVP Aaron Judge due to a calf injury.
- Game 3 takes place Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium. Projected starters include Yankees LHP Max Fried, who holds a 5-5 record, and Rays RHP Nick Martinez, who finished the regular season 15-6.
