Rays beat Yankees in Game 3 and take 2-1 series lead

The Tampa Bay Rays are one win away from going to the American League Championship Series. The top-seeded Rays beat the Yankees 8-4 in Game 3 of the ALDS. Tampa Bay has now won 10 of 13 games against New York this season.

Leading the Rays to victory on Wednesday was rookie Randy Arozarena who homered in his third-straight post-season game. It was also a big night for Yankees DH Giancarlo Stanton. Stanton became the first player to hit a home run in each of his team's first 5 postseason games. His 13 RBI’s through the first 5 postseason games are also the most since RBI became official in 1920.

The Rays now have a chance to win the best-of-five American League Division Series in Game 4 Thursday night. If they do, Tampa would clinch their first ALCS trip since 2008.
