Wednesday!

Kyle Higashioka hit 3 run home run in the bottom of the 5th inning 369 feet making 4-0 New York.

Though, that was all scoring Tampa Bay produced because Wandy Peralta who pitched 1.2 innings who relieved Nestor Cortes gave up 0 runs, 0 earned runs 0 walks, struckout three Tampa Bay batters .Miguel Castro pitched 0.2 innings gave up 1 hit , 2 earned, walked 0 Tampa Bay batters. Then things got complicated in the top of 8th inning as there was 16 minute delay in the game for a rule check as umpires debated the Yankees' ability to remove right-hander Miguel Castro immediately after pitching coach Matt Blake visited the mound, attempting to determine if pinch-hitter Ji-Man Choi had been officially announced.

After all the debating Lucas Luetge was able to come out of bullpen for New York and he pitched 0.1 innings 2 hits 0 earned runs 0 walks , struckout 0 Tampa Bay batters.

New York manager Aaron Boone had this to say about his teams performance in their 4-3 over Tampa Bay Wednesday in Bronx New York.

We have some guys that are having great starts to their season individually, but everyone in that room has contributed in so many different ways,Defensively, running the bases, out of the 'pen, starting rotation … I think that gives everyone a lot of confidence going into each day, knowing we don't have to do it just one way."

Kyle Higashioka had this to say about teammates, outfielders Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton!

"It feels like Judge and [Giancarlo] Stanton are always just hitting them over the fence," Higashioka said. "But there's some days where other people are going to have to step up. We have the kind of team where guys can do that."

New York is now going to prepare for the finale of the three game series with Tampa Bay on Thursday night in Bronx New York where Luis Severino is going to be opposing Jalen Beeks.

Though,

It wasn’t planned that way originally as Luis Severino was originally supposed to oppose Drew Rasmussen on Thursday night though he was put on the 15 day injured list with a strained left hamstring so now he is going to be opposing Jalen Beeks who unlike him is a left handed starting pitcher!

Luis Severino comes into the finale with a record of 4-1 with an earn run average of 2.80.

Jalen Beeks comes into the finale with a record of 1-1 with an earn run average of 1.38.

Though, could mother nature possibly get in the way of Luis Severino opposing Jalen Beeks? Of New York, Tampa Bay playing their finale?

I would say there is a possibility of that happening because 17 % chance of rain at first pitch then chances of a thunderstorm increase to 51% at 8:00pm , 47% chance of rain at 9:00pm , 32% by the time the game is supposed to be over.

First pitch is set for 7:05pm from Yankee Stadium!

The game is going to be televised on Bally Sports Sun, Yes,Major League Baseball Network!
