The Rays are in the driver's seat following a Game 3 win over the New York Yankees in the American League Division Series.

Tampa Bay claimed an 8-4 victory Wednesday on a 13-hit outing. The Rays now own a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series.

Here's a few highlights from the game:

Michael Perez got the Rays on the board with a RBI single in the second inning.

The Yankees tied it up in the third after a sacrifice fly by Aaron Judge.

Tampa rebounded in the top half of the fourth, though, as Kevin Kiermaier belted a 373-foot, three-run homer to give the Rays a 4-1 lead.

Tampa extended their lead to 5-1 on a solo home run from Randy Arozarena in the fifth.

The Yanks cut that deficit back to three on a double right field from Aaron Hicks.

Tampa's Perez then launched his second of the game, this time a 390-foot shot, to provide two additional runs to help the Rays take an 8-2 lead after six frames.

Giancarlo Stanton cut the gap with a historic two-run bomb in the eighth, but it was too late for the Yankees.

Game 4 is scheduled for Thursday at 7:10 p.m. ET.
