RAYS vs. YANKEES The Rays are 4-8 in the season series (4-2 home, 0-6 here) their 6-game losing streak in this ballpark is their longest road skid here since June 7 Sep 9, 2009 (6), and they haven t lost 7 straight at NYY since (11) this is the Rays ninth consecutive series loss at Yankee Stadium, longest such streak by any opponent here, going 6-21 over that span the Rays haven t been swept by the Yankees in a 4-game series since Sep 7-9, 2009 (here) Rays suffered a 3-game sweep here April 10-13, but won 2 of 3 games in both series at home, their season opener April 2-5 and May The Rays went 8-11 against the Yankees in 2016 (5-4 at home, 3-7 on the road) since 2010, the Rays are an even.500 (71-71) prior to that, they were (.342) in their first 12 seasons ( ).
