The Tampa Bay Rays look for back-to-back wins to maintain their division lead over the New York Yankees on Wednesday. <\/p>\n
This four-game series is all tied up heading into Game 3 on Wednesday, when the Tampa Bay Rays host the New York Yankees. The Yankees won comfortably in the opener on Monday, 5-1, and then the Rays came back to tie it with a 6-4 victory. That win ended a three-game losing streak for the Rays. Tampa Bay has regained a four-game advantage for first place in the AL East standings, with the Rays sitting at 53-36 and an eye-watering 32-13 record at home. Despite winning the opener, the Yankees are trying to avoid losing four of their last five games tonight. New York is second in the division race with a 50-41 record and a 27-21 away mark. Tampa Bay has a firm 5-2 lead in the season series. These two will play one final time at the end of September in a four-game set in the Bronx. Tampa Bay is the -131 favorite to take the series lead on Wednesday. We should be in for a very solid matchup on the mound tonight. The Yankees will start Gerrit Cole, who is adding more innings under his belt with 42.2 after returning this season from Tommy John surgery. The veteran ace is 3-3 with a 4.01 ERA. The Rays will counter with a formidable foe in Shane McClanahan. The lefty is 7-5 with a 3.05 ERA in 79.2 innings. <\/p>\n

Seymour improved to 6-1 on the season after going 5.1 innings, giving up five hits and three runs, but most importantly striking out 12 Yankees. The only mistake Seymour made was a three-run shot to New York DH Ben Rice. The Yankees couldn\u2019t score again until the seventh inning. Hunter Feduccia and Yandy Diaz hit consecutive homers in the fourth inning to earn the go-ahead runs. In all, the Yankees struck out 17 times in this game.
