This series circled on the calendar for a while the Rays host the Yankees always a headline grabber regardless the first time New York returns to its spring training home as the visiting team. Now Taj Bradley taking them out here tonight for the Rays and you take a look at his season numbers very good to an old record here a three seventy one outstanding whip just above one only hitting three forty eight a homer six runs batted in dribbled to third charging is Kevin Nero and he can't make the first play try to bare hand it. He's been hitting very well and they're a little bit of fortunes. He hit that one about as soft as you can. Here is Ben Rice the designated hitter. Chuck and for basic Goldsmith round second he's going to go to third. Mungum comes up and fires into the second. So back to back hits open the game. Yankees playing the corners nobody out and the Yankees are in business when Aaron Judd's coming to the plate. There aren't enough superlatives to describe how well this guy is playing right now. That one is in the centerfield and is a basic Goldsmith scores. Rice is going to stop at second. So Judge picks up an RBI single his twenty second Rivi and the Yankees have a run. But here is Cody Bellinger save the game last night bouncing ball around to look to second decides to take the shore out at first second and third one. And here is Anthony Volpe and strike out there on that corner. Ninety three. How huge was that runners at second and third with one out. You need the strikeout so bad. And he saves the best for last trying to keep the damage to a minimum. Here is just Chisholm junior right handers pitch. He popped him up towards the shortstop Taylor Walls back pedaling into the shadows. He's there. He's got it. And Bradley pumps his fist into his mid. He worked around what could have been a really tough first. So we'll warn this week's fourth start of the year. Want to know five point one four fifteen strikeouts and 14 innings opponents at one eighty four against him and it'll be Cameron Meissner to lead it off round ball backhanded and the long throw is not in time. Meissner beats it out and the Rays have their lead off man of order. Meissner is on to start the home first and here's Brandon Lau. That's a base hit to right field Meissner around second. He's going to go to third and the throw to third. In time Aaron Judge showed up the arm and he throws out Meissner at third. Aaron Judge not only does it with the bat but he does it with his arm as well. Comes up nice and easy takes a quick peek on a dot to third base. Judge says no thank you. One and one to Yandy Diaz one nothing Yankees one out one on line right at Chisholm first to first back in time. Miranda betting three ninety six with an American League leading seven doubles his pitch going on and hit the right field backing up Judge a couple steps to his right makes the play and that'll do it. He's showing off here at Stein Brunner Field got a base hit get an RBI and he gets down a runner trying to go first to third back to back strikeouts three for the game is Kate three of the last four he's faced two out no one on one nothing New York here is Oswaldo Cabrera at a base hit hard line drive past Aranda. So a two out single back to the top of the order in Goldschmidt Cabrera leads Goldschmidt swings and pops one way up into the air off the first base foul line. Brandon Lowe to his left the second baseman makes the call and the grab as he had to lurch back at the end and retires the Yankees a beauty from Will Warren one out his first strike out of the evening. Here's Ritchie Palacios reinstated today from the Isle. He had a broken right ring finger. So it's his first game of the season. He shoots it toward right center that's going to drop a set. He's on his way to second. The throw is going to come in but he's in there well ahead of that toss back in and a double for Ritchie Palacios and his first plate appearance coming off the Isle. He's got a double to right center. He's the tying run and here's Jake Mangum. They're the chop off the mound Warren but nobody covering first over to third goes Palacios runners at the corners with one out. And Rortman is looking for his first hit of the season. Rortman takes ball for outside of the bases are loaded from Owen to a walk and they're all double loaded up with one out. And here comes Taylor Walls. There's a high fly ball to left going back and now coming in a couple of steps to Bengals. He catches it flat footed. No play at the plate. Here comes Palacios coming home to score standing up and the Rays have tied it at one to one. Dominguez got himself into zero position to make a throw towards the plate Meisner takes outside ball for the bases are reloaded. They are all filled up. So Aaron Boone has seen enough of his young right hander and now he's going to have to get a lot of outs out of that bullpen. And here comes Brandon Lowe breaking ball swing on a miss. And boy I tell you what it was a hanger. A totally with Rice for a lead off single is two for two. That brings up the guy who's had a pretty big imprint on this game so far in Aaron Judge hit hard down to third to Hopper snared by Caminero to second one Lowe's relay in time. It's an around the horn five four three double play. Two gone here in the third and a one one affair. There's Cody Bellinger is Bradley looks for that shut down frame swing and a pop up back behind old plate. Wardfeit coming toward the on deck circle has a play makes the catch holding the mask in one hand and the glove in the other and Tosh Bradley indeed has a shut down frame in the third base hit for Jonathan lined out his first time. Now he has a line drive single and the Rays have their first runner as Junior Caminero steps in struck out his first time swinging a ball drilled high in the air and deep to right center judge back to the wall. Goal Junior Caminero with team leading homer number five. The Rays have their first lead at three to one here in the third inning. Yankees have hit the most home runs in the American League but the Rays are right up there right now as they continue to climb the charts. Here's Richie Palacios and that ball is going to drop into center. How about that base hit and Richie Palacios. Welcome back to the Rays. He's now two for two. Here's Jake Mangum. He had an infield hit off his buddy Will Warren his first time runner takes off the pitch is a ball and the throw not in time in head first Palacios with two hits and now a stolen base. Well we do know that he likes to run and he runs at a very high percentage inside almost hit him. That's ball for the Rays have two on and one out in the inning continues for Ben Rorfeit who walked his first time up swing at a line driving a right. That's a base hit for Ben Rorfeit rounding third and held up by Brady Williams is Richie Palacios. Everybody moves up 90 feet and the Rays have the bases loaded and one out for number nine three hitter Taylor Walsh five consecutive hitters I've reached up the middle grab there by Chisholm. There's one on the first. It's a double play. Darbrow got a piece of it. It's loaded up and jazz made a fine fine play behind second. Boy that limits the damage. It could have been a heck of a lot worse. They get two on a board one out nobody on up comes Oswaldo Cabrera to right center field on the run is Meisner. A home run just over the wall his first of the season his fifth RBI. We got a three to ball game right center field a blast off the bat of Cabrera. Here's Goldie swing on line drive left field that'll get down. Palacios gets it back in quickly a big turn by Goldsmith. Here come the Yankees in the fifth inning and the Yankees get Ben Rice to the plate with one out and a tying run a board. And that's a basic it's going to go all the way to the wall in the corner. Goldsmith will stop at third Rice picks up his third hit of the night. The Yankees have runners on second and third. And now you've got to deal with Judge Judge with an RBI single in the first bounce then to a five four three double play. There's a walk not intentional but close and the bases are loaded for Bellinger. Now it's shot the second they get one. That's all they'll get. The game is tied as Goldsmith scores. That's an RBI ground out of fielder's choice by Bellinger. It's three three. Moving to third is Rice straightaway center field Meissner in and to his left. But here comes Mangan. They come together. It's Mangan and right center to grab it and retire the site first and third. Nobody out is Dominguez swing on hit to the right side Lowe goes to second for one back to first not in time scoring his jazz Chisholm and the Yankees are back on top. It's four three runners to advance to second and third and right now Rodriguez against Ben Rice who is three for three tonight. And now each team has eleven hits. That was a fastball at ninety nine up good piece of hitting. And there's a leadoff baserunner again for New York. Anthony Volpe steps in Volpe Chomsky on right side Lowe. There's one on the first. It's a double play. Volpe does not think they got him puts his hand up the signal to Aaron Boone Paul on the field the runner is out at first base. New York is challenged after review the call at second base is confirmed. The runner is out also after review the call at first base is overturned. The runner is safe. New York retains their challenge one on and one out for left handed batter jazz Chisholm Junior's. And away with that one there Mark. Sounded like a strike. Yeah I think that one. We wow. Strike three that one looked outside maybe to make up for Chisholm's down on strikes. There's no such thing about that you missed the call. You don't make up for it. There you go. You can't argue balls and strikes and he was teetering on that edge and Boone was trying to break it up but they can have enough. I know he's frustrated. Well the Yankees lead Tampa Bay six three wanting to get off to a good start in this four game set and win their fourth game in a row so they'll turn to the closer Devin Williams Devin his eighth game six innings. He's walked six. He struck out a grounded right side. Grabbed by Peraza from the knees fires a sparkler outstanding play by Peraza reaches out with his left hand. What a play. Plenty of time to get the out at first base. What a start. One pitch one one pitch swung on Jim shot popped it up. Peraza is going to make the play out on the grass about three or four paces a quick two outs. Here's Haranda last chance for the Rays tonight. Swung on line drive left side cut by Cabrera victory for the New York Yankees. The final Yankee six Tampa Bay three and a very quick mop up job and let down job by Devin Williams.
