The New York Yankees will take on the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field on St. Petersburg, Florida on Saturday August 8, 2020 5:10 P.M, ET.

This will be the 2nd game as the Yankees and the Rays will have a double header this Saturday. The Yankees were doing good in the early part of the season, but they lost 3 of their last 4 games. The Yankees dropped game one losing at 1-0. The New York Yankees are 3rd in the American League with a 9-4 record, and are 1st in the AL East Division.

They were successful going into the season, but they are now on a 2 game losing streak. They split their series with the Phillies where they lost the final game on Thursday. This was their 1st series that they didn’t win for the year. DJ LeMahieu leads New York with 19 hits and 5 runs batted in. Aaron Judge and Gio Urshela are not far behind making a combination of 25 hits and 27 RBIs. The main reason for their recent slump is their offensive output, which is weak in their recent games. New York produced only 7 runs in their last 3 games, which is just a small fraction of their 65 runs made in 13 games. It won’t be hard to escape this hole they fell in as it is not that deep yet. They are still 4th in the league in terms of batting average at .257, along with 24 bombs, and 4 players with an OPS above 1.000. New York haven’t posted yet who will start for them in game 3.
