New York, Tampa Bay split the four game series!
Where?
Bronx New York!
Why?
Because on Monday May 31, 2021 New York lost the opening game to Tampa Bay by a score of 3-1.
Why?
Because Miguel Andujar provided the only offense for New York!
Where?
Bronx New York!
How?
Miguel Andujar homered!
When?
In the seventh inning!
For the game New York was limited to just three off Tampa Bay starting pitcher Rich Hill and because of that their offensive woes continued and their losing streak was extended to four games in a 3-1 loss.
Then they won game two by a score of 5-3!
When?
On Tuesday!
Where?
Bronx New York!
Why?
The night belonged to Clint Frazier!
here?
Bronx New York!
Why?
Because Clint Frazier who is a left fielder for New York provided defense as well as offense for his team and helped them snap their four game losing streak against Tampa Bay.
How?
Clint Frazier preserved a 3-3 tie by contributing a diving inning-ending catch in right field, stealing a hit from Joey Wendle that would have brought home two runs. With Chad Green on the mound, Wendle lofted a weak fly ball that seemed as though it would elude second baseman Rougned Odor. Frazier charged and snared it at the last possible moment.
Then in the eleventh inning Clint Frazier pummeled an Andrew Kittredge slider for his fifth home run of the season, securing the Yankees’ fifth walk-off win of the year in a 5-3 win.

Then in the finale New York lost by a score of 9-2!
Why?
Gerrit Cole struggled to effectively elevate his fastball, firing too many misplaced “noncompetitive” pitches, by his own assessment.
And gave up a a pair of two-out RBI singles in the fifth inning that broke the game open. New York trailed, 2-1, at the time, before Brandon Lowe hooked a changeup to right to score one and Yandy Díaz lined an elevated slider up the middle to plate two more.
Offensively the only support Gerrit Cole got was from Brett Gardner, Miguel Andujar as they both homered.
Meanwhile Tampa Bay won game one!
When?
Monday by a score of 3-1!
Where?
Bronx New York!
Why?
Rich Hill scattered three hits and a pair of walks over five scoreless innings.
Offensively Tampa Bay put their leadoff man aboard in every inning from the third through the sixth, and three of them came around to score. That included Austin Meadows, whose 334-foot fly ball crept over the short porch in right field for a solo shot, and the eventual winning run.
