09/01: Yankees look flat as Tampa Bay romps to 9-1 win in opener
Andy Sonnanstine was brilliant through eight innings allowing only one run on an RBI single to A-Rod and Phil Hughes looked ineffective for the third straight appearance as he was constantly behind hitters.
Carlos Pena got two homers for the Devil Rays and Carl Crawford added a few hits as Tampa Bay romped to a 9-1 victory.
Chris Britton also gave up a homer to Pena and was largely just in for mop up duty. The series resumes on Saturday afternoon with Ian Kennedy making his major league debut for the Yankees.
