Rays know job isn’t done as they face desperate Yankees in Game 3

The Tampa Bay Rays aim to finish a sweep of the New York Yankees in Game 3 of the American League Division Series on Wednesday night. Tampa Bay holds a 2-0 series lead after taking the first two games with 1-0 and 5-2 victories. Nick Martinez is scheduled to start on the mound for the Rays, while left-hander Max Fried will pitch for the Yankees as New York faces postseason elimination.

Tampa Bay capitalized on New York fielding errors in Game 2, which included miscues by Ryan McMahon, Jazz Chisholm Jr., and George Lombard Jr. The Yankees offense has struggled, recording just five hits in 58 at-bats across the first two games despite two home runs from Ben Rice. Manager Aaron Boone indicated he is considering changes to the Yankees starting lineup for the must-win contest.
