Rays Triumph Over Yankees 5-2: Eflin’s Mastery and Arozarena’s Power

Eflin’s Dominant Performance


Zach Eflin delivered a standout performance on the mound, throwing six innings without allowing a run, giving up just three hits, and fanning five batters. This win marked his 12th of the season, making him the first pitcher in the American League to reach that milestone this year. His mastery on the mound set the tone for the Tampa Bay Rays as they defeated the New York Yankees 5-2 on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium.

Arozarena’s Two-Run Blast


Randy Arozarena’s two-run homer off Carlos Rodón in the third inning was a highlight of the game, extending the Rays’ lead to 4-0. Arozarena’s blast to left field, which scored Harold Ramírez, showcased his power and ability to come through in key moments.
