Extending Their Lead

The Rays defeated the Yankees 7-1 in game one of their double header this afternoon. Mike Mussina walked two and struck out seven in five innings, but that didn't translate into a good outing as the Rays scored five runs in that time. Longoria returned to the lineup and went two for five with two RBI.

It will be very tough for Mussina to get to 20 wins with just three starts left. Even if the Yankees tried to pitch him on three days rest, there's just not enough of the schedule left to get him four more starts. He can't afford another game like this.

The Rays lead the Red Sox by three games pending the outcome of the two night-caps. The Red Sox are down 5-2 in the fifth, while the Rays lead 4-1 in the fourth on a grand slam by Ben Zobrist.
