The New York Yankees continued their struggles in Tampa Bay, falling 6-4 to the Rays on Tuesday night. The team’s strikeout numbers are becoming a concern, with 34 strikeouts in the last two games alone, including 17 each night.
Will Warren was roughed up early, allowing three home runs and six earned runs in just four innings before the bullpen took over. Yandy Díaz, Hunter Feduccia, and Victor Mesa Junior all went deep against Warren, who couldn’t find his command all night.
The lone bright spot for New York was Ben Rice, whose solo home run and three RBI kept the game close. Tampa’s bullpen arm Ian Seymour made things worse, striking out 12 Yankees in five-and-a-third innings of relief.
