The Yankees survived a late comeback attempt by Tampa Bay on Sunday to win 5-4 and take the series 2-1, righting the ship after they lost their first series of the year against the Blue Jays earlier in the week. Luis Gil pitched just over five innings, allowing no earned runs, but giving up 1 point on a balk to third and allowing Jose Caballero to score.
Alex Verdugo’s two-run single in the fifth gave New York breathing room, and Jose Trevino and Oswaldo Cabrera piled on RBI singles to put the Yankees up 5-1. Yankees reliever Dennis Santana gave up a double to Amed Rosario and a single to Curtis Mead in the eighth to bring the Rays within a point of tying the game, but Victor Gonzales made a nifty underhand toss to first to get Harold Ramirez out and save the game.
Now New York hosts the A’s, who are just 8-14 to start the season, and coming off a 6-2 loss to the Cleveland Guardians at the end of a 0-3 losing series.
