Yankees get to Civale in 5th, beat Rays 5-4
Luis Gil struck out a career-high nine over 5 2/3 innings for his first major league win in three years, and the New York Yankees took advantage of Aaron Civale's control problems in a four-run fifth to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 on Sunday. Civale walked three straight batters with two outs in the fifth, then gave up Alex Verdugo's two-run single and RBI singles by Jose Trevino and Oswaldo Cabrera — all in a three-pitch span — as New York spurted ahead 5-1. The Yankees had been 3 for 17 with runners in scoring position heading into the inning. Verdugo had three hits as New York (15-7) improved to 6-1 in series this season.
