ts in last night's contest but stranded 11 baserunners. The team has averaged a paltry 2.8 runs over the course of their rough 14-game stretch. Tampa Bay, on the other hand, won for the fourth straight time and closed within two games of the New York Yankees for first place in the AL East with last night's verdict. James Shields delivered 6 2/3 strong innings to lead the way for the Rays, while Matt Joyce snapped a 2-2 tie with a clutch RBI double with two outs in the bottom of the sixth. Shield
A-Rod takes another crack at 600th home run in Cleveland Wed Jul 28 11:01:12 2010 EST
(Sports Network) - Alex Rodriguez was supposed to take center stage in the New York Yankees' game with the Cleveland Indians last night, but an unknown rookie on the opposing team wound up being the star of the show. After coming up empty once more in his quest to join baseball's 600 home run club, Rodriguez will attempt to help the Yankees bounce back from a loss to the last-place Indians when the two teams continue a four-game series from Progressive Field tonight. Rodriguez went 0-for-4 in h

Pavano is now 13-6 on the season, tied with the New York Yankees' CC Sabathia and Tampa Bay's David Price for the most wins in the AL. Valencia has been on quite a roll as well lately. The rookie infielder had four hits, including a grand slam, in Monday's contest and has gone 8-for-9 with seven RBI so fa

Shields (9-9) allowed two runs on nine hits with seven strikeouts for the Rays, who have won four straight and moved within two games of the first-place New York Yankees in the AL East. Carlos Pena hit a two-run homer in the victory. Ryan Raburn drove in a run for the Tigers, who have dropped four of their last five contests.

(Sports Network) - The New York Yankees used the long ball to come through with a win over the Cleveland Indians last night, but none came off the bat of Alex Rodriguez. With their star slugger still stuck on 599 career home runs, the Yankees vie for a second straight victory in this four-game series when the defending world champions return to Progressive Field this evening. Rodriguez failed in his attempt to become the seventh player in major league history to reach the 600-homer milestone in

Carl Crawford added a solo homer later on for Tampa Bay, which has now won three in a row and remained three games behind the New York Yankees for first place in the American League East. The Rays lead the Wild Card standings by five games over Boston. Detroit, on the other hand, has now dropped 10 of their last 13 and fallen three games back of Chicago for the top spot in the AL C

Sunday's victory kept the Rays within three games of the first-place New York Yankees in the AL East standings. Following this series, Tampa Bay will host the defending world champions in a three-game set. Matt Garza will attempt to follow up Davis' sharp showing, as well as rebound from a horrible last start, when he takes t

Pavano may be best known for the very disappointing four years he spent with the New York Yankees after signing as a free agent for $39.95 million dollars in December of 2004. His career in New York was highlighted by injuries and controversy. He started just 26 games, compiling a 9-8 record with a 4.99 ERA. After his contract expired wi

As he has so often in the past, Herzog credited Casey Stengel, the Hall of Fame manager of the New York Yankees and Mets, with much of his success.

``Casey told me so many things that became valuable,'' Herzog said. ``For some reason, he knew that I was going to be a big league manager. When I met Stengel, it was like an enlightening thing because I

Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - Scott Podsednik went 3-for-4, scored once and drove a run in, leading the Kansas City Royals to a 7-4 win over the New York Yankees in the third installment of a four-game set. Jose Guillen added his 16th homer and drove in two runs, while Rick Ankiel also had two RBI for the Royals, who won for the first time in this series and only the third time in 12 games overall. Kyle Davies (5-6) recorded his first win since May 28th, going eight starts without one, after yie
