Masahiro Tanaka and Tropicana Field were both lights out.
Tempers flared during the top of the sixth inning when reliever Yonny Chirinos hit Luke Voit near the left shoulder, and the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays beat the New York Yankees 7-2 Saturday night.
Domingo German became the majors' first seven-game winner, Gio Urshela got a key hit set up by a pair of odd bounces and the New York Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 on Friday night.
J.A. Happ and four relievers combined on a two-hitter, Cameron Maybin contributed with his bat and glove, and the New York Yankees beat the Seattle Mariners 3-1 Thursday night.
Facing the famous New York Yankees for the very first time, Yusei Kikuchi really stuck it to 'em. Maybe he had a little illicit help.
Cameron Maybin narrowly beat right fielder Jay Bruce's throw home on DJ LeMahieu's game-ending, ninth-inning hit, lifting the New York Yankees over the Seattle Mariners 5-4 on a soggy Tuesday night.
It had been a decade since pitchers with so many combined punchouts started the same game. In a showdown between Félix Hernández and CC Sabathia, the Yankees landed their haymakers early.
Domingo Germán already possessed an impressive fastball, curve and changeup. This year, he's added two equally important elements to his repertoire — confidence and concentration.
Sabathia came out in costume just before the Bronx Bombers took on the Minnesota Twins at Yankee Stadium.
The Twins had lost nine straight times at Yankee Stadium, including the 2017 AL wild-card game, before Odorizzi and three home runs boosted them.
Already with 13 players on the injured list, the Yankees said Paxton will have an MRI on Saturday.
New York's big bats might want to take some notes on how a collection of spare parts, journeyman big leaguers, and untested rookies salvaged a nightmare start to 2019.
New York dropped to 0-5 this year against teams that currently have winning records, and is 17-8 against teams below .500.
After months of anticipation and three starts with his family in tow, Sabathia could finally celebrate a milestone only 16 other players in 143 years of major league baseball had accomplished.
New York Yankees shortstop Troy Tulowitzki was 1 for 4 with a home run and a walk in his first injury rehabilitation appearance, facing the Detroit Tigers in an extended spring training game Monday.
