New York Yankees beat Tampa Bay Rays 7-1, take 2 of 3 from AL East leaders

Masahiro Tanaka and Tropicana Field were both lights out. Tanaka outpitched reigning Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell, Thairo Estrada homered just after play resumed following a ninth-inning power outage and the New York Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays 7-1 Sunday to take two of three from the AL East leaders. New York closed back within one-half game of the Rays. Despite 16 players going on the injured list the Yankees are 24-16, just four wins fewer than after 40 games last year.
