The New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays are set to begin a short two-game series tonight at George M. Steinbrenner Field in the Yankees’ spring training complex in Tampa, which the Rays are calling home for 2025. Southpaw Carlos Rodón is lined up to face righty Shane Baz, but before Baz could even take the mound, the tarp went onto the field.

BOTTOM LINE: The New York Yankees take on the Tampa Bay Rays after Cody Bellinger had four hits against the Rays on Tuesday. Tampa Bay has a 32-31 record in home games and a 61-65 record overall. The Rays are 10th in the AL with 137 total home runs, averaging 1.1 per game.

Cam Schlitter’s homer-suppressing tendencies haven’t transferred over to the big leagues. The Yankees’ rookie has allowed six long balls in 29 ⅔ innings since his big league debut on July 9. Schlitter’s 1.82 homers allowed per nine innings is the 19th-highest among MLB pitchers with at least 29 innings pitched in that span.

According to Bryan Hoch of MLB .com, that makes the Yankees the first team in Major League Baseball history with multiple nine-homer games, period. The fact that they did so twice in the same season is the type of baseball oddity that makes the game so fun to watch.
