The Yankees completed another amazing comeback last night, scoring two runs in the ninth inning to tie the game all with two outs, before taking the lead in the 11th thanks to a Lyle Overbay solo shot. Mariano Rivera closed out the game, putting the Yankees in a position to grab the sweep today. CC Sabathia takes the mound against the Rays’ Alex Cobb. For his career at Tropicana Field, Sabathia is just 3-6 with a 4.07 ERA. After today’s game, the team will head back to New York to face the Mets tomorrow from Citi Field.
