INSIDE THE MATCHUPS
YANKEES: Pettitte has traditionally owned the Rays — current Tampa Bay batters are hitting .240 against him — but he has always struggled with Ben Zobrist. The second baseman has batted 9-for-22 (.409) off Pettitte, including two home runs and six RBIs.
RAYS: Since an 8-0 start to the season, Moore hasn’t won in his past five starts. His past three have been particularly brutal. Moore has given up 19 earned in 12 ¹/3 innings, allowing 20 hits and 11 walks in those starts and his ERA has risen from 2.18 to 4.12.
STAT SO?
YANKEES: The Yankees have gone 37 straight games without scoring double-digit runs.
RAYS: In nine appearances, left-handed reliever Alex Torres has totaled 18 ¹/3 innings, while allowing four hits, no runs and three walks while striking out 23.
