A career-high 5 home runs were hit off of CC Sabathia. These home runs were all with the bases empty and was the only way the Tampa Bay Rays scored on the Yankees in a 5-1 defeat to open the series.
CC Sabathia struggled with the location as many of his pitches missed their intended location and many were hit hard over 8 innings. The 16-game winner gave up 10 hits.
Andruw Jones drove in the Yankees only run with a double into right field that was fielded very well as two throws gunned down the attempt at a second run in Nick Swisher at home.
