The Yankees were unable to defeat the Rays Tuesday night as they lost 7-4. The game was close throughout, but the Rays took the lead and the Yankees could not battle back.
Ivan Nova started for the Yankees and he pitched well. He allowed 6 runs, 3 earned, on 7 hits in 6 innings of work. The defense let him down tonight and he suffered the loss because of that. He threw 102 pitches, 65 of them were for strikes.
The Yankees jumped on James Shields early on with two runs in the first inning, but couldn't break through against him during the later inning. They would end up scoring again in the third inning, which at the time gave them a 3-0 lead. The Rays would tie the game in the bottom half, but the Yankees would take the lead again in the fourth. The Rays quickly responded with two in the bottom of the fourth to take the 5-4 lead. They would end up scoring twice more in the seventh inning to take a 7-4 lead, which was enough for them to secure the win.
The Yankees and Rays will play the finale tomorrow on the 4th of July!
