The New York Yankees played a terrible game tonight as they lost to the Tampa Bay Rays 13-4. The Yankees fell behind early as they were down in a 6-0 hole heading into the bottom of the 3rd inning when they scored four runs to make it 6-4. They could never battle all the way back however and the Rays eventually went onto win.
Ian Kennedy was the starting pitcher and a very bad outing. He only lasted 2.1 innings while giving up four hits, six runs, four walks, and two strikeouts. The rest of the pitching staff was alright except for Latroy Hawkins who pitched in the 8th inning and gave up another six earned runs. Kyle Farnsworth tried to stop the bleeding but he also allowed one earned run.
It just wasn’t the Yankees night tonight against the Rays. I fully expect the Yankees to come out and get a victory on Saturday against this same Rays team however. They won’t take another ass kicking like this.
