 Tampa Bay is 6-1 against the Yankees this season, including wins in five straight. The Rays have clinched the season series between the teams, after the Yankees had the upper hand each of the previous five seasons (2015-19).

 The Rays are assured of entering September in first place of the AL East for just the second time in franchise history. They also led the division entering September in 2008 (by 5.5 games) -- the year of their first AL East title.

 The Yankees won the final three games of their five-game set with the Mets over the weekend, with the winning runs in all three victories coming in the team's final at-bat. That matches the Yankees' last-AB wins over their first 29 games this season combined (three).

 In the second game of yesterday's doubleheader, Deivi Garcia became the first pitcher in Yankees history to pitch at least 6.0 innings without allowing an earned run or walk in his major-league debut.

 In 14 games without Aaron Judge in the lineup this year, Luke Voit is hitting .333 (18/54) with seven homers, 13 RBI and a 1.178 OPS. An AL-high eight of Voit's 12 homers this season have come at home.

 Since the start of last season, Gerrit Cole has struck out an MLB-high 38.8 percent of the batters he's faced, while Tyler Glasnow ranks fourth at 35.2 percent (minimum 15 starts). Glasnow has 48 strikeouts in just 28.0 innings this year, meaning more than half of his outs have come via strikeout (57 percent).

 Among American Leaguers who have primarily played in the middle infield this year, Brandon Lowe (19) and Willy Adames (16) rank 1-2 in extra-base hits.

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

When the Tampa Bay Rays made their first trip to Yankee Stadium two weeks ago, they were just starting to roll.
Now they are on a full-blown surge and will attempt to get their sixth straight win and widen their lead in the AL East on Monday night when they visit the New York Yankees for the opener of an important three-game series.

Cole, Yankees begin key series with rival Rays

NEW YORK (AP)  After a decade spent chasing their big-budget AL East rivals, the Tampa Bay Rays are pummeling the New York Yankees.
''We've had some really good battles over the years and they've always kicked our butts here at their place,'' Rays veteran Kevin Kiermiaer said. ''We've flipped the script here for 2020.''
