The Yankees then stored the Rays off the board within the fifth when José Caballero leaned too far off third on a Taylor Partitions grounder to Goldschmidt. The primary baseman, enjoying in, then obtained Caballero in a rundown. Escarra tagged the runner out in entrance of the plate.

Extra sturdy protection adopted Rodón’s exit, as Jonathan Aranda tried stretching a double right into a triple with Mark Leiter Jr. on the mound within the seventh.
