Yanks' Jacoby Ellsbury is best in majors at one very weird play

The New York Yankees came back from an early 2-0 deficit to defeat the Tampa Bay Rays by a final score of 6-3. That's why it was somewhat stunning to see him give up Brett Gardner's walk-off home run with two outs in the ninth inning Saturday.

The Yankees, who had lost nine of their first 14 games to start the 2016 season, have now won two straight and are at 7-9. Dellin Betances pitched a scoreless eighth and Andrew Miller pitched a scoreless ninth.

Lobaton, a backup catcher, had two hits in his first two at-bats against Twins starter Kyle Gibson - a two-run single in the first and an RBI triple in the third.

The Chicago White Sox shut out the Texas Rangers 5-0, the Kansas City Royals overcame the Baltimore Orioles 4-2, the Colorado Rockies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-5, while the San Francisco Giants smashed the Miami Marlins 8-1 and the San Diego Padres beat the St Louis Cardinals 4-1.

"I did part of my job".

Teammate Logan Morrison went 1 for 4 on Saturday, but is 3 for 45 with 19 strikeouts through the first 15 games of his Tampa Bay tenure. The first batter the baby-faced Snell faced in the majors, left-handed Yankee leadoff man Jacoby Ellsbury, hit a 2-2 fastball to the warning track in the leftfield gap only to have the spectacular Kevin Kiermaier track it down for the first out of Snell's major league career.

Snell threw five innings of two-hit baseball against the New York Yankees, leading with a 2-1 lead.

Rasmus crushed a 2-2 pitch from Clay Buchholz off the facing of the second deck in right field, snapping a 1-1 tie with two outs in the fifth inning and ending the Astros' four-game skid. The Yankees right fielder rushed home when Snell's offering to Alex Rodriguez bounced four feet in front of the plate and got past Tampa Bay catcher Hank Conger. He also hit a batter and struck out one.

The Rays, however, had only six hits, half of them off the bat of Corey Dickerson. By waiting to recall him on Saturday, the Rays have guaranteed he can only reach 163 days of service time this season, meaning they'll hold on to the extra year of control, which would run through the 2022 season. But when the Tampa Bay third baseman moved in during one pitch, Gardner abandoned the idea, worked the count in his favor and pounced on a fastball. He is 1-1, 2.51 in three starts this season for Durham.
