At that point, catcher Kyle Higashioka took another mound visit to allow Lucas Luetge more time to warm up in the bullpen.<\/p>\n<p>Boone then tried to make the pitching change, but was met by the umpires, who convened for a lengthy meeting to determine whether or not he was allowed to.<\/p>\n<p>Finally Boone was cleared to call in Luetge, who went on to give up back-to-back singles that cut the lead to 4-3 before he escaped the jam.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"611\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Aaron-Judge-5.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Aaron Judge belts a solo homer, his 25th of the season, in the first inning of the Yankees' win.\" class=\"wp-image-22681429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Aaron-Judge-5.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Aaron-Judge-5.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Aaron-Judge-5.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Aaron-Judge-5.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Aaron Judge belts a solo homer, his 25th of the season, in the first inning of the Yankees\u2019 win.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">N.Y.

It was a strong rebound from last Wednesday at Minnesota, when the Twins battered him for four runs on seven hits in 4 \u00b9\/\u2083 innings.<\/p>\n<p>A night after the Rays made a pair of errors that led to both of the runs in the Yankees\u2019 2-0 win, they provided another gift on Wednesday that came back to sting.<\/p>\n<p>In the fifth inning, with the Yankees up 1-0 on Aaron Judge\u2019s 25th home run, Josh Donaldson led off by hitting a catchable fly ball to right-center field. But Brett Phillips \u2014 who had entered the game two innings earlier for the sure-handed Kevin Kiermaier (Achilles inflammation) \u2014 let it hit off his glove as Donaldson reached second base.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"690\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Kyle-Higashioka.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Kyle Higashioka belts a three-run homer in the fifth inning of the Yankees' win.\" class=\"wp-image-22681448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Kyle-Higashioka.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Kyle-Higashioka.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Kyle-Higashioka.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Kyle-Higashioka.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Kyle Higashioka belts a three-run homer in the fifth inning of the Yankees\u2019 win.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Jason Szenes<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Two outs later, after McClanahan fell behind 3-0 to Isiah Kiner-Falefa, the Rays intentionally walked him.<\/p>\n<p>Higashioka came up next and made the Rays pay, crushing a three-run homer just inside the left-field foul pole to put the Yankees up 4-0. After not hitting a home run in his first 34 games of the season, Higashioka has now gone deep three times in his last two games.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Cortes did not allow a hit until the third inning, when Yandy Diaz smoked a one-out double.<\/p>\n<p>Cortes responded by retiring the next eight batters in a row before Diaz doubled again to lead off the sixth. This time, the Rays were able to cash in, as Margot followed one out later by roping a double down the third base line to get Tampa Bay within 4-1.<\/p>\n<p>After Cortes walked Arozarena on four pitches, Boone pulled him for Wandy Peralta. The left-handed reliever worked his magic, getting a fielder\u2019s choice and a strikeout to strand runners on the corners.<\/p>\n<p>Peralta then tossed a perfect seventh inning with two more strikeouts, lowering his ERA to 1.50.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
