When it rains, it pours. And the Tampa Bay Rays are dumping all over the New York Yankees right now.
In case you missed it, the Rays completed a three-game sweep of the mighty Yankees on Sunday thanks to a Tropicana Field quirk.
With the score tied in the ninth inning, New York’s Clint Frazier hit a high fly ball that had home run potential — until it deflected off a speaker on the Trop’s catwalk and somehow landed in the glove of Rays shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria for a bizarre out.
The Yankees lost 7-6 in extra innings and still were smarting from the painful defeat Monday when Tampa Bay’s Twitter account came in from the top rope with a Grade-A troll job.
You break it, you buy it.
The Yankees have deep pockets, so the least they could do is shell out some extra cash for a replacement speaker after Frazier so rudely damaged it.
Props to the Rays for winning the battle, but they’re losing the war by a wide margin: The club is third in the American League East but sits a distant 14 games back of the first-place Bronx Bombers.
