Rays Even Record with 6-5 Victory
Behind a solid performance from catcher Buster Posey, the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the New York Yankees, 6-5. Posey was 2 for 2 with 2 singles, 2 walks, and was hit by a pitch. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Rays. The Yankees fall to 8-14 and continue their lackluster start to the 2025 season.

In the bottom of the fifth, Enrico Vázquez delivered a clutch hit. With two gone and runners on 1st and 2nd, the Tampa Bay shortstop hit a run-scoring single, putting the Rays in front, 6-5.

"That's a solid team effort right there," said Posey. "Everyone's feeling positive after that win."
