The Tampa Bay Rays are preparing to host the first two games of the American League Championship Series, less than 20 miles away from the Yankees’ minor league training complex.

David Price, the Tampa Bay Rays’ No. 1 overall selection in last year’s amateur draft, made his major-league debut against the Yankees on Sunday.

Alex Rodriguez hit a grand slam and Derek Jeter homered to tie the Yankees legend Lou Gehrig for most hits ever at in a victory over Tampa Bay on Sunday.

The Yankees opened the last 10-game stretch they will ever play at Yankee Stadium without doing themselves any favors in the wild-card race.

The dreary atmosphere and a steady rain seemed a fitting backdrop to the start of the final regular-season homestand at Yankee Stadium on Friday.

The Tampa Bay Rays arrived in New York, fresh from their two consecutive wins over the Boston Red Sox, which boosted their lead in the A.L. East to 2 ½ games.

Scott Kazmir pitched confidently with his fastball, spotting it at the knees on the outside corner or firing it high in the zone, daring the Yankees to hit it.

A home run protested by the Tampa Bay Rays was the 549th of Rodriguez’s career, and it punctuated a victory, the Yankees’ third win in three games this month.
