It’s New York’s second series against the Rays in less than 30 days, and the Yankees will look to repeat their earlier 2-1 result. The Yankees are coming off a 4-3 loss to the Houston Astros to close the series on Thursday night, but they still walked away with a 2-1 series win.

Marcus Stroman gave up a pair of home runs in the first inning to Houston’s Yordan Alvarez and Jon Singleton, racking up three runs right at the top of the night, from which New York couldn’t quite recover. The Yankees were able to get two runs in the third inning off Anthony Volpe, and another in the eighth from Aaron Judge.

That still leaves New York with the second-best W/L ratio in the American League (.641) and just half a game behind the Baltimore Orioles. The Rays are 19-19 and fourth in the AL East. They lost 4-1 to the White Sox on Wednesday, but took the series 2-1 overall.
