AL East Division rivals will clash on Sunday afternoon, when the Tampa Bay Rays batte the New York Yankees from the Bronx. The Rays (78-59) have won eight of their last ten games and sit atop the crowded AL Wild Card standings. On Saturday, Tampa Bay SP Corey Kluber (10-8) was rocked for six runs and recorded just two outs during a 10-3 road loss against New York.
Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash has yet to name a starting pitcher for this game. The Rays are loaded with quality options on a staff that ranks third in the majors with a 3.24 team ERA.
The New York Yankees have won 49 of their 71 home games and hold a 4.5 game lead over Tampa Bay for first place. During yesterday's home victory, Josh Donaldson and Giancarlo Stanton each homered to power the New York offense. SP Jameson Taillon (13-4) struck out eight batters across seven plus frames to earn the win for the Yankees, who improved to 84-56 on the year.
The Yankees will give the nod to thirty year old right-hander Domingo German (2-3 3.27 ERA) on Sunday. Last time out, German allowed three runs in six innings during a 5-4 home victory versus Minnesota.
