The New York Yankees had an impressive game against the Tampa Bay Rays, hitting five home runs to support Carlos Rodon’s stellar pitching performance. Rodon pitched seven dominating innings, allowing only two hits and two walks while striking out 10 batters. This was a much-needed win for the Yankees, who have struggled in their past 30 games after a strong start to the season.
In addition to Rodon’s strong outing, the Yankees’ offense came alive with back-to-back homers from Austin Wells and Anthony Volpe off Zack Littell. DJ LeMahieu also contributed with a home run to break his hitting slump, and Juan Soto had a standout game with three hits and four RBIs, including two home runs.
The Yankees collected a total of 15 hits in the game, showing an impressive display of power at the plate. It was the third time this season that they hit back-to-back homers, highlighting their offensive firepower.
Despite Littell’s efforts on the mound for the Rays, allowing five runs on nine hits in 5 2/3 innings, he struggled to contain the Yankees’ hitters and gave up three home runs in the game.
Overall, it was a strong performance by the Yankees, both on the mound and at the plate, as they secured a much-needed win against a tough opponent in the Tampa Bay Rays. This victory will hopefully provide some momentum for the team as they look to improve their record and make a push for the postseason.
