scheduled tribe. Peterburg, Fla. – After four straight wins, the Yankees had a chance to go into a tie for first place with another win on Thursday.
But his journey from the basement to the top of the AL East would have to wait, as he saw his winning streak in a 9–1 loss to the Rays at Tropicana Field on Thursday.
One day Glibber Torres was confirmed to be COVID-19, the offense was discontinued by 41-year-old Rich Hill, while Jameson Tillon showed another instability.
Hill, the former Yankees, harassed the Raiders during his 6 former / innings innings using a variety of soft – to-day standards – sliders and a Kyrball and a fastball that topped 90 mph.
But Lefty also brought a nine-inning scoreless streak in his last two innings which he continued on Thursday.
Hill drew a fly to right from Gio Urshela with two to end the top of the third. And with the runners on the corners and one of the sixth, they got Mike Ford to hit in a double play.
And Talon, who gave up four runs in 4 / ₃ innings, did not help by putting the Yankees in a crucial hole early.
The right-handed batsman faced the first two batters, but then gave three straight hits.
Manuel Margot started the first inning with a single to right and went to third on Brandon Lowe’s double to right. Yondi Diaz scored both runners with a run to center to make it 2–0 in a 27-pitch first inning for Taiten.
Talon rebounded by striking from the side in the second order, but Randy went on to take Arrozerena from the bottom of the third.
Austin Meadows followed with a two-run homer to extend the Yankees’ deficit to 4-0.
Taillon did not make it through the fifth, dropping two on and two off.
Michael King was eliminated from the innings in the final, but King’s scoreless streak ended in the sixth.
King entered the night with four runs this season not allowing one run in 12 ₃ / over innings, but he made a leadoff walk for Joey Wendall, allowing Kevin Smith to single. King struck out the next two batters, but Arrozerena took him deep and completed a three-run shot but ended the Yankees’ hopes of a comeback.
Justin Wilson’s pathetic season continued with another poor performance. He has now allowed runs in four of his last five matches.
