The Tampa Bay Rays are feeling the September heat, today dropping the second consecutive game to the New York Yankees. The loss shrinks their AL East lead to only 3 games, as rival Boston won tonight. What's worse is that they are losing at home, the place where they have posted not only the best home record, but the best overall record in baseball. Gabe Gross provided a 2-R blast in the middle innings, but it wasn't enough to lose 8-4.
New York Yankees' third baseman Alex Rodriguez made history in the 9th inning of the game, hitting a home-run that barely stayed fair and forced the umpiring crew to be the first to use instant replay on the play.
The Good: A-Rod, going 3-4 with that monstrous 2-run HR in the 9th off Rays' closer Troy Percival
The Bad: Rays starter Edwin Jackson, who got attacked for 10 hits and 6 earned-runs in 3 1/3 weak innings.
