The Rays continue to have the Yankees’ number. It could have been worse though. The Yankees split their four-game set with the Rays in the Bronx. They are now 4.5 games back of the surging Rays in the AL East. There’s another team in front of them in the standings as well. That would be the Boston Red Sox, who make their first trip to Yankee Stadium this weekend.
To talk about the Rays series and look ahead to the matchup with the Red Sox, we bring you a new episode of the “Pinstripe Pod” with Chris Shearn and Jeff Nelson, including an interview with Yankees fan, guitarist and singer Page Hamilton from the heavy metal group “Helmet.”
Pinstripe Pod Opening Segment with Chris, Jeff & Jake:
- SPLITTING WITH RAYS: It was decent, but wanted three of four. Bats have been a major problem for this team. Clint Frazier should get some time in center field. Concerned that we may not see Corey Kluber again this season. Yankees need to make changes in the outfield.
- RED SOX MATCHUP: Red Sox are for real. Alex Cora has made a huge difference for this team. This is a tough test for the Yankees. Nellie tells stories of his days in the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry. Relives the Don Zimmer-Pedro Martinez incident.
