New York, NY. -- No "Enter Sandman" blaring from the speakers at Yankee Stadium. No No. 42 running in from the bullpen. And last but not least, none of Mariano Rivera's famed cutters were seen in the ninth inning of Wednesday night's Rays-Yankees contest.
What the Yankees didn't have combined with the Rays' never-say-die attitude set up a four-run top of the ninth and a 4-1 Tampa Bay win with 38,024 watching.
The win snapped the Rays' losing streak at three games and pushed the club to 20-11 on the season.
