Rays sweep Yanks Bauers’ walk-off HR

First baseman Jake Bauers smashed a walk-off homer in the 12th inning on Chasen Shreve’s first offering, leading the Rays to a 7-6 victory against the Yankees on Sunday at Tropicana Field and completing a three-game sweep. It was the Rays’ first hit since the third inning, as both teams fell into a bullpen scrum. Shreve was the Yankees’ seventh pitcher, and the Rays also used seven arms. Left-hander Ryan Yarbrough, called on unexpectedly in the 12th inning when reliever Jonny Venters suffered a pulled hamstring while trying to cover on Brett Gardner’s leadoff bunt, got the victory.
