    Randy Arozarena homers and drives in 4 runs, Rays beat Yankees 7-2

    Randy Arozarena homered and drove in four runs, Yandy Díaz hit a leadoff shot, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the New York Yankees 7-2 on Saturday. Arozarena put the Rays ahead 4-2 with a three-run homer in the third inning off Nestor Cortes (1-4). "I'm definitely starting to feel a little better," Arozarena said through an interpreter after his first multi-hit game since March 30. Díaz homered on Cortes' first pitch of the game.
