Game 21 - Yanks beat Rays, Win 4th Straight

The Yankees won the 4th consecutive game and 7th consecutive series, 4-3. Home runs by Carlos Beltran, Didi Gregorius and Brendan Ryan drove in all 4 Yankee runs.

Masahiro Tanaka was solid pitching 6+ innings, giving up 9 hits, a walk and 3 earned runs. While he didn't get a decision in the game, in part, that may be the manager's fault. Having thrown 109 pitches and giving up 2 runs in the first 6 innings, the manager decided to try to nurse a 3-2 lead, asking for 1 more inning out of his starter. When the first pitch was doubled down the line by Franklin, he was immediately pulled. David Carpenter retired the first 3 batters he faced without alloeing the runner to advance, but Longoria lined to center to score the run and tie the game.

In an ironic twist of fate, Carpenter would be credited with the win. In the bottom of the inning, Didi Gregorius homered to give the Yankees the lead for good.

With the win, the Yankees are now 15-6. The Rays drop to 10-11
