 The Yankees have won six in a row since dropping three out of four games at Tampa Bay from August 7-9. New York has won the season series between the teams each of the past five years (from 2015-19).

 New York is 10-0 at home this season, matching the longest home win streak to open a season in franchise history (also 1951 and 1987). The Yankees' 24 home runs at home are tied for the fourth most all-time by an MLB team in its first 10 home games of the year (most ever by Yankees).

 The Rays and Yankees are two of three MLB teams to have improved their records in each of the past three seasons, along with the Braves. And with wins in eight of its last nine games, Tampa Bay's 2020 win percentage (.609) is now higher than 2019 (.593).

 Tampa Bay's middle infielders -- primarily second baseman Brandon Lowe and shortstop Willy Adames -- rank first among MLB teams in OPS (.941), slugging percentage (.567) and extra-base hits (26)

 Blake Snell is 1-5 with a 5.82 ERA in 11 career road starts against the Yankees, compared to 2-1 with a 1.86 ERA in six home starts in the series. He threw 3.0 no-hit innings against New York on August 7 at home, a 1-0 Rays victory.

 Luke Voit picked up his first multi-homer game of the season in yesterday's 6-3 win over Boston, extending his hit streak to seven games. Voit (7) and Aaron Judge (9) are the only MLB teammates this year with at least seven home runs each.

HP - Fairchild, 1B - Visconti, 2B - Additon, 3B - Torres

While the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox are hyped as having baseball's premier rivalry, games between the Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays have increasingly taken on the feel of a spirited rivalry in recent seasons.
With New York and Tampa owning the two best records in the American League East, that feeling holds true even in the abbreviated 2020 season. The two clubs renew acquaintances Tuesday night when the Yankees host the Rays in the opener of a three-game series.
