NEW YORK, NY (SNN-TV) – The Yankees were poised to extend their recent misery on a long night against the Rays. Then one swing from Josh Donaldson changed everything.
Donaldson hit a walk-off grand slam in the 10th inning as the clock struck midnight, and struggling New York salvaged an 8-7 win over Tampa Bay last night to avoid the aforementioned three-game sweep.
It was Donaldson’s eighth career game-ending homer and first since Sept. 27, 2015, with Toronto — also to beat Tampa Bay.
Nonetheless, Tampa moves on as they open a four-game series against visiting Kansas City tonight. Luis Patino will get the nod on the mound for Tampa, making his first start since July 23rd.
