INSIDE THE MATCHUPS
YANKEES: Hughes did not factor in the decision in his last outing Thursday against the Diamondbacks, allowing two runs on six hits over seven innings. In 14 appearances (seven starts) against the Rays, the right-hander is 4-4 with a 3.99 ERA.
RAYS: The 2012 Cy Young Award-winner is still seeking his first victory of the season. In his last start, Price allowed five runs on six hits over six innings while striking out six. In 19 career appearances (18 starts) against the Yankees, Price is 7-3 with a 3.77 ERA.
STAT SO?
YANKEES: The Yankees had 10 extra-base hits in Friday’s win at Toronto and 11 in their April 9 win at Cleveland. The two games with 10-or-more extra-base hits marks just the fourth time since 1963 that the Yankees had two or more such games in a single season.
RAYS: Joe Maddon’s ejection on April 17 at Baltimore marked the first time he was tossed from a game this season and the 28th time in his eight seasons with the Rays, extending his club record.
