| (MySportsbook) - The Baltimore Orioles may be ahead of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the American League East standings, but the gap between the teams has been closing. Tonight the improving Rays aim to continue their recent surge when they host the slumping Orioles in the opener of a three-game series from Tropicana Field. Tampa Bay has won eight of its last 10 games and is fresh off an impressive weekend showing against the powerful New York Yankees. The Devil Rays came into the Bronx and took two of three conte |

NEW YORK (AP) -Bat-gate is over, as least as far as the New York Yankees and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays are concerned. Third baseman Akinori Iwamura and his Yankees counterpart, Alex Rodriguez, both had their bats confiscated during New York's 9-6 win Saturday in one of the more bizarre sequences in the Bronx since George Brett stormed the field in the ``pine tar'' game on July 24, 1983. ``For me, it's over,'' Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said Sunday. ``We got it out of our systems yesterday.

| (MySportsbook) - Andy Pettitte puts a six-start win streak on the line when the veteran lefty takes the mound this afternoon for the New York Yankees in the rubber match of a three-game series with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Pettitte has been good as any pitcher in the majors over the last month, as he has posted a sparkling 2.36 earned run average during his current winning run. He's allowed three runs or less in each of those six victories. The 35-year-old will also be facing a team he's dominated over his stan |

| Bronx, NY (MySportsbook) - Alex Rodriguez went 3-for-4 with a homer and four runs batted in to help Ian Kennedy win his major-league debut, as the New York Yankees held on for a 9-6 victory over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Rodriguez clubbed a two-run homer in the first inning and added a two-run double in the fourth for New York, which bounced back from a 9-1 loss in Friday's series opener to win for the fourth time in five games. The Yankees also moved two games in front of Seattle for the AL wild card lead. The |

| (MySportsbook) - Although the Tampa Bay Devil Rays have been well out of the playoff picture for quite some time, they appear to be comfortable in playing the role of spoiler. Today the improving young club aims for a season-best fifth consecutive victory when it takes on the New York Yankees in the second test of a three-game set from the Big Apple. The momentum the Yankees gained from a key three-game sweep of rival Boston earlier in the week was quickly lost in Friday's series opener, as the Devil Rays batter |

Sonnanstine (4-9) easily had the best outing of his young career, giving up just a pair of singles and one unearned run with five strikeouts and no walks. After Alex Rodriguez's RBI single in the fourth, the 24-year-old right-hander retired the final 14 batters he faced. Carl Crawford, Delmon Youn |
