The Rays make a couple of trades, acquiring relief pitcher Dan Jennings from the White Sox for prospect Casey Gillaspie and 1B Lucas Duda from the Mets for P Drew Smith. However, they lose a heartbreaker to the Yankees, 6 – 5, as an apparently inoffensive ground ball by Gary Sanchez finds a hole between SS Adeiny Hechevarria and 2B Tim Beckham to tie the game with two outs in the 9th and Brett Gardner on third base. Gardner then goes yard off Andrew Kittredge in the 11th to end the game.
