The New York Yankees ran into a red hot Tampa Bay Rays team on Monday night as they lost 7-1.  The Rays have now won five straight games and the Yankees could have trouble with them the next three games of the series if they don’t make some adjustments.

The Yankees only had six hits and one run in the game tonight.  The only run came in the eighth inning when Johnny Damon grounded out to first base and Jose Molina scored from third base.

Andy Pettite pitched terrible as he gave up eight hits and five runs in the game while only pitching four innings.  Pettitte is now 3-3 on the season as he took the loss.

Chris Britton and Jose Veras both gave up one run as well in relief.

All around it was just a bad game for the Yankees.  They will look to turn things around tomorrow agains the Rays.  Yankees Blog
