The New York Yankees fell 5-2 to the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 2 of the ALDS on Monday, falling behind 2-0 in the series and facing elimination. New York committed four errors, including three in the first inning alone, to dig an early hole at Tropicana Field. Starting pitcher Cam Schlittler lasted just 3.1 innings, allowing four runs, two of them earned, in the defeat.
Offensively, the Yankees struggled against Rays starter Freddy Peralta and reliever Ian Seymour. First baseman Ben Rice provided New York's only offense with two solo home runs. Manager Aaron Boone's team must now win three straight games, starting with Game 3 at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday, to keep their season alive.
