Game Thread: New York Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays 9/6

"Keep calm Yankees fans, I got this."

The New York Yankees and the Tampa Bay Rays are on the field and ready to finish off this three game set. This is an important game for both ball clubs as the Tampa Bay Rays continue to fight for one of the two Wild Card spots in the American League while the Yankees are still within striking distance of an American League East Division title. Both teams need a win so this should be another closely contested contest with Ivan Nova taking the mound for the Yankees and Chris Archer, the Yankees Killer, taking the mound for the Rays. The game will be played at 1:05 pm ET and can be seen on the YES Network and TBS.

The Yankees are right back at it again inside Yankee Stadium tomorrow and through the week as the team's last big home stand of the season comes to a close.

Nova is ready to take the mound and Jacoby Ellsbury is ready to return from his upset stomach and flu like symptoms so it's time to get another series win. Go Yankees!
