Rays Sweep Yankees

That's the beauty of a two-game series.

It's odd how well the Rays seem to match up with New York. The Rays won the season series in 2005 from the Yankees and managed to steal a few from New York last year despite some injuries the Rays could ill afford (lost slugger Jonny Gomes to a shoulder injury after a torrid start, and second-tier slugging infielder Ty Wigginton for a number of games late in the season).

On the downside, the Rays lost third baseman Iwanura to a strained oblique.

I thought his at-bat against Mariano Rivera looked suspiciously pathetic (swing & miss x3). Turns out there was a reason for it.
