The New York Yankees topped the Tampa Bay Rays 6-2 yesterday in Florida.
DJ LeMahieu kicked off scoring for the Yanks with a home run to center field in the fifth inning, only to repeat the impressive feat again just three innings later. Everson Pereira, Gleyber Torres, and Giancarlo Stanton all earned RBIs throughout the game as well. Pitcher Gerrit Cole showed efficiency at the mound, throwing eleven strikeouts in just over seven innings.
The Yankees advance to 1-0 in the series and 78-52 on the season, next taking on the Rays this evening at 4:10PM in Florida.
