Yankees bullpen holds on in tight win over rival Rays
NY Post
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Staring another late-inning collapse in the face Tuesday, the Yankees’ bullpen finally figured out how to protect a lead in a 4-3 win over the Rays.
The Yankees followed up a nightmarish weekend at Fenway Park with a trip to Tropicana Field to face a Rays team that has given them fits the last two years. Clinging to a one-run lead in the bottom of the eighth after Zack Britton allowed an RBI double to Randy Arozarena and an infield hit to Brandon Lowe to put runners on the corners with one out, Britton got Mike Zunino to bounce into an inning-ending double play.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
