US TV coverage: catch it on ESPN Plus
Joey Wendle took a pitch to the helmet, Mike Zunino got hit, and Jordan Montgomery smashed Austin Meadows twice a week ago today - on the shoulder and then the hand - as the Bronx Bombers rallied in the final game to avoid being swept by their arch-rivals.
There have been plenty of words exchanged between the two factions this week, and it would come as a surprise to absolutely nobody if this return series turns out to be just as brutal as the last.
There's genuine hatred between these team, and - as long as nobody gets seriously hurt, of course - long may the hostilities continue!
Whether you’re a Rays fan in the Sunshine State, a Yankees fan in the Big Apple or just an MLB follower wanting to watch the baseball at Yankee Stadium, we’ll show you how to get a high-quality MLB live stream of the Rays vs Yankees game.
