Going into Sunday it looked like the Yankees were doomed into getting swept by the Rays once again at the Trop. The Yankees offense once again opened flat, it took a massive Gio homer to start the offense up before Aaron Hicks ended the three run inning with a bases loaded double play.

The Yankees problem is the construction of the lineup and that solely lays blame on Aaron Boone.

You can’t have one of your best hitters/power hitters batting at the two spot and have a guy that is not known for getting a ton of hits at the three spot.

The Yanks stay in Florida, which is the new home of the Blue Jays during the pandemic, Gerrit Cole takes the mound, stay tuned for the lineup.
