... Darrell Rasner (5-10) with a two-run single for Tampa Bay. He hit a solo homer in the fourth off Alfredo Aceves. The Rays, who lost a series for the first time since the All-Star break, looked bad in dropping the first two games. Manager Joe Maddon attributed the flat performances to the way the Yankees have been playing lately and uncharacteristic mistakes by the Rays — not the pressure...

... game to watch. ************************ Recap : I only have one question after this game: Should Alfredo Aceves start in place of Rasner when his turn comes up in the rotation? Rasner was terrible tonight and couldn’t even get out of the 2nd inning. He gave up 6 hits and 5 earned runs. Yes, the Yankees’ offense didn’t give him any room to breathe, especially since they couldn’t score...

Should 'Double-A' be the nickname for Alfredo Aceves? Or has he already been dubbed the 'Mexican Gangster'? What a debut for him - that's what I'm taking out of this game. We all knew it was over when Toronto scored four; there was no way we were scoring four off Cy Young-candidate Roy Halladay. Anyway, Aceves is 25 years old, and was signed out of the Mexican League in February....

... one run over 52/3 innings for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Another option for starting duty, Alfredo Aceves, sat in the Yankees' bullpen. In the end, the Yanks escaped with a 13-9 victory over the Tigers, a cause for celebration only in that Joe Girardi's beleaguered bunch avoided the humiliation of blowing a nine-run lead. "I don't care how it looks," said , whose Yankees sit...
