None of the arms who the Yankees threw at the Rays could find much success, with Nestor Cortes battling his delivery and ultimately ceding four runs in 5.1 innings.
The first-pitch leadoff home run by Yandy Díaz off Cortes highlighted a trend of five home runs hit by the opposition in the first inning over the last five games for the Yankees starters.
Yandy Díaz and Randy Arozarena were instrumental in driving in six of the Rays' seven runs, while the Yankees showed struggles both in pitching and baserunning throughout the series.
Nestor Cortes faced difficulties throughout the game, particularly in the third inning where he walked the leadoff batter, fell behind 3-0 to batters, and ultimately gave up a three-run home run to Arozarena.
