After building a 10 – 2 lead at Yankee Stadium, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays lose to the Bronx Bombers, 20 – 11, making it the second time in franchise history the team is ahead by eight or more runs and loses by nine or more tallies. No other club in history has ever achieved this dubious distinction as the D-Rays, with their 1999 defeat to the Indians, now have accomplished the feat twice. Also, by giving up 13 runs in the bottom of the second inning, the Devil Rays become the first team in history to yield that many tallies in one inning twice during the same season. The benefactors each time are the Yankees, as the visiting Tampa Bay hurlers also had a 13-run meltdown in April.
