Just when we thought the New York Yankees were done with their bullpen overhaul, they made one last move, trading for Camilo Doval from the San Francisco Giants. The Yankees realized what they needed to do to get ready for the postseason and Brian Cashman made sure pitching wasn’t going to be a liability.

Giancarlo Stanton and Ben Rice homered in the first two innings and the Yankees beat the Rays 7-4 in a game delayed by rain for nearly three hours Thursday.

Yankees: Marcus Stroman (2-2, 6.09 ERA, 1.59 WHIP, 23 strikeouts) BOTTOM LINE: The New York Yankees host the Tampa Bay Rays with a 2-1 series lead. New York has a 33-22 record in home games and a 59-49 record overall.

First, the Yankees brought thunder. Then, they endured the rain. The Yankees rode an early offensive eruption to a 7-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday afternoon, though they had to wait through a nearly three-hour weather delay to finish off the series-clinching victory in the Bronx.
