The New York Yankees are starting to hit homers more frequently, and it helped them even their four-game series with the Tampa Bay Rays.
After belting three long balls on Friday, New York's challenge on Saturday afternoon is to produce against Tampa Bay's Shane McClanahan, who has allowed just four homers in 46 innings in an undefeated start to the season.
New York had lost the series opener 8-2 on Thursday following a three-game sweep of the Oakland Athletics. The Rays hit multiple homers for the 23rd time on Friday as Randy Arozarena and Jose Siri hit solo homers before Josh Lowe belted a three-run homer in the eighth shortly before Rizzo's second homer.
