The Tampa Bay Rays were never really in the game tonight against the Yankees as they lost 6-1. The Rays bats couldn’t get going against Mike Mussina and the Yankees bullpen and Bobby Abreu hurt the Rays pitchers.
Jason Hammel took the loss for the Rays. Hammel pitched six innings and gave up eight hits and four earned runs. Scott Dohmann pitched one inning and gave up two earned runs. Gary Glover pitched one scoreless inning.
The only offense for the Rays came off the bat of Jonny Gomes when he hit a solo homerun in the third inning off Mike Mussina.
