\n The Orioles have already hung around longer than most people thought when the 60-game<\/a> season opened, but when it comes to crunch time in the AL East the Yankees and Rays are the betting favorites to fight it out for the title.<\/p>\n

Having dropped three of four to the Rays at Tropicana Field earlier this month when the Yankees took exception to Rays hurlers pitching their hitters up and in throughout the weekend adds more flavor to a rivalry that has evolved into so much more than the Red Sox-Yankees.<\/p>\n

So, away from Tropicana Field and at Yankee Stadium the Yankees get a chance to put some distance between themselves and the pesky Rays. The Yankees hold a 2 \u00bd-game lead over the second-place Rays after beating the Red Sox, 6-3, Monday night at the Stadium.<\/p>\n

Since the remaining six games against the Rays are in The Bronx it is imperative the Yankees don\u2019t suffer the same fate they did in St. Petersburg, Fla.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought we did a lot of things in that series<\/a> pretty well. Even though we didn\u2019t score a ton of runs outside of the one game we played I thought we gave ourselves a lot of opportunities and that is what you have to do against them,\u2019\u2019 Aaron Boone said Monday of his team that went 4-for-27 (.148) with runners in scoring position during the series. \u201cGive yourself as many opportunities as you can because you know it is going to be challenging to score and score big against them but if we give ourselves opportunities and capitalize when we have those chances and to continue to pitch well against them then we will like our chances.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Not only will the Yankees be without Giancarlo Stanton, who hurt is hamstring running the bases against the Rays, Aaron Judge and DJ LeMahieu also will miss the series.<\/p>\n

Masahiro Tanaka, who threw five shutout innings in a 1-0 loss to the Rays on Aug. 7, draws the first game. Blake Snell goes for the Rays.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously they are a very good team and we need to beat them to get to where we want to get to,\u2019\u2019 Tanaka said. \u201cObviously that goes for every team around us but definitely they have become a good team. It\u2019s an important series for us.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

The Yankees will carefully watch the workload of Aroldis Chapman, as the gas-throwing lefty returns from the COVID-19 injured list but Boone made it clear he returns as the pitcher who will be asked to get the final three outs.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe will be the closer. We will build him up slowly this first week as far as not have him do any back-to-backs and we will kind of monitor him this week,\u2019\u2019 Boone said. \u201cA save situation [Monday night] he will be in there in the ninth.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Boone brought Chapman into the ninth inning with a four-run lead and was impressed with the first outing in which Chapman hit trip<\/a>le digits several times.<\/p>\n

As for pitching in back-to-back outings, Chapman said the plan is for that to occur next week.<\/p>\n

Zack Britton, who went 8-for-8 in save situations filling in for Chapman, will pitch in front of the Chapman which will add depth to a late-game pen that has Adam Ottavino and Chad Green, who have pitched very well.<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Boone didn\u2019t have Gio Urshela in Monday night\u2019s lineup against Red Sox lefty Martin Perez but it was only to give the third baseman a rest. Boone started Thairo Estrada at third and Miguel Andujar in left.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told Miggy [Sunday] night that we were going with him in left field. It was a close decision for me,\u2019\u2019 said Boone, who didn\u2019t start left-handed hitting outfielders Brett Gardner and Mike Tauchman. \u201cI just felt like in this stretch getting [Tauchman] a day now and wanting to get Thairo in there it just worked out that way.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Andujar made his fifth start in left field compared to one at third base where he has much more experience. Estrada, who homered, started his first game this season.<\/p>\n

Andujar turned the wrong way on Alex Verdugo\u2019s fly ball in the sixth that bounced on the warning track and into the seats for an RBI ground-rule double. Boone inserted Tauchman into left in the seventh but said it had more to do with Tauchman being an elite outfielder and not Andujar failing to catch what Boone said would have been a tough play for a veteran left fielder.<\/p>\n

Tyler Wade at second base was the only left-handed hitter in Boone\u2019s lineup.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
