Rays End Four-Game Skid, Defeat Yankees 3-2

The Tampa Bay Rays snapped a four-game losing streak by defeating the New York Yankees 3-2, thanks to a two-run rally in the eighth inning that featured RBIs from Curtis Mead and José Caballero. Rays starter Zack Littell pitched seven strong innings, allowing just three hits while limiting damage from Yankees home runs by Aaron Judge and Austin Wells. The Rays' offense relied on timely hits, aggressive base running with six stolen bases, and capitalized on a key error by Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe. Taylor Walls contributed a sacrifice fly for Tampa Bay's first run, while New York's emergency starter Ryan Yarbrough held the Rays in check early. Yankees star Aaron Judge continued his hot streak, hitting his 11th home run and extending his on-base streak to 29 games. Tampa Bay's bullpen secured the win with high-leverage outs, including a perfect ninth inning from Pete Fairbanks for the save.
