Rays beat Yankees for the second straight time
Tampa Bay Rays have picked their second straight win against the East champions New York Yankees whom they defeated 5-3 last night at the Tropicana Field, to extend the positive run to four straight victories.
Tampa Bay opened the score in the second inning when Zobrist, who hit a 351 foot homer, and Damon gave their side a two point quick lead. Yankees’ first reply came in the next round through Martin who also fired a 422 footer to cut the deficit to one point. The fourth term went scoreless for both sides as the game seemed to a very tight one.
New York evened the situation in the fifth when Granderson grounded into double play and Gardner scored the second one for the visitors with Nunez out at second. Yankees even drew a potential victory in the sixth inning as Rodriguez made it 3-2 after Swisher doubled to center.
Unfortunately for the leaders, that was their last momentum as Rays were preparing for a late run which would give them the win. Joyce hit a 357 foot homer which involved both Upton and Longoria in a triple point that propelled the hosts two points atop and brought them the success.
“I know that both parties involved, Boston and Tampa Bay, are having sleepless nights. They’re hungry. Rather than have to live to through it, I think both want to fast forward it to see what happens. I’ve been there. I’m not pulling for anybody. I know I’m glad that we were able to do what we did,” said Cashman after the meeting.
Tampa Bay have climbed second in the East with a .559 record, similar to Boston Red Sox’s, which includes 90 wins and 71 defeats. The win over New York was their sixth in the past ten games and 46th at home. Concerning Yankees’ route, they have dropped to a .602 percentage featuring 97 wins and 64 losses. The defeat to Rays was their third in a row, fourth in the past ten games and 35th on the road.
Baltimore Orioles 7 – 8 Boston Red Sox
Red Sox edged Orioles yesterday at the Oriole Park at Camden Yards where the visitors struggled to remain on course for the second position in the East. Baltimore had a better start, though, managing to score the first point in the opening term through Markakis.
The second inning went scoreless for both sides, while the third one saw Red Sox start a five point run through Ellsbury, who hit a 406 foot homerun, and Scutaro who made it 2-1 as just. Moreover, Boston scored even a triple point in the next round as Lavarnway hit a 395 footer which involved both Ortiz and Gonzalez, as well.
Orioles managed to cut the deficit to two points in the same term thanks to Wieters, who also hit a 413 foot homer, and Guerrero. Red Sox broke back two rounds later through Scotaro and Crawford who came up with yet another double for the visitors. Jones then fired a 393 foot homerun for Orioles but the hosts were still far from a victory.
The seventh inning went blank for both teams, while the eighth one saw Red Sox score their last one through Lavarnway who hit the sixth homer of the game. From then on Orioles could only close the gaps without being able to go atop of their opponents.
Davis singled to center allowing Wieters to make it 5-8 in the same eighth term, while Davis scored the sixth one right afterwards, following Reimold’s triple. Finally, the last word belonged to Hardy who closed the meeting with a seventh meaningless point after Wieters grounded out to catcher.
Boston have lost the second position in the East but still have plenty of chances to secure a playoff spot. Red Sox have gone .559 this season, percentage, which includes 90 wins and 71 defeats. The victory over Orioles was their third in the past ten games and 45th on the road.

Flowers brought the first lead for Chicago in the second inning with a 408 foot homer, while De Aza doubled the advantage in the sixth one, following Pierzynski’s singling.
