After recording one of their best wins, the New York Yankees look to build some much-needed momentum when they face the Tampa Bay Rays in the rubber match of a three-game series on Sunday in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Harrison Bader capped a three-run rally in the eighth inning on Saturday with a two-run single to give the Yankees a 3-2 victory. Tampa Bay had its four-game winning streak snapped and lost for just the third time in 21 home games.
New York's bullpen shined in Saturday's victory with four relievers combining for four scoreless innings behind starter Domingo German. The Rays finished 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position. Cole, 32, was named American League Pitcher of the Month for April after allowing just five runs across 40 2/3 innings in his first six starts.
Fleming, 26, has gone 0-1 with a 3.00 ERA across six innings in three career relief appearances against the Yankees, while Guerra, 27, has faced New York just once, throwing an inning of relief against it on Saturday.
