The Tampa Bay Rays play the New York Yankees on Wednesday in Game 3 of their series. The game starts at 1:05 p.m. ET. Listen to the live radio broadcast below.
Tampa Bay can complete a four-game sweep of the Yankees with win on Wednesday. The Rays limited New York to just five runs through the first three games of the series while scoring 11 runs. Their latest win came on Tuesday, 2-1.
"... I think we've played our best baseball of the year over the last three weeks," Rays starting pitcher David Price told MLB.com, via the Associated Press. "We're a very confident group. I think we're playing the kind of ball we expected from opening day. If we can get something going, hopefully something cool can happen."
Price, the subject of trade rumors, allowed New York only one earned run while fanning nine batters.
Jake Odorizzi (3-7, 4.14 ERA) is scheduled on Wednesday to start for Tampa Bay. He's coming off a no-decision, in which he gave up one run on six hits in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. His last start against the Yankees came on May 3, when he gave up three runs and walked away with a no-decision.
Yankees pitcher Vidal Nuno (2-4, 5.42 ERA) will oppose Odorizzi. Nuno had one of the best games of the season on Friday against the Boston Red Sox, whom he limited to just two hits while striking out five batters.
New York has been sluggish on offense, and manager Joe Girardi is hopeful his players step up to avoid being swept at home.
"The guys we have, they've got to get it done. That's the bottom line," he said. "As I said, it's not just a couple of guys going, it's a number of guys. No one is going to feel sorry for you. No one has a magic potion. You just have to grind it out."
