Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Sox rally late to best Marlins

With the Yankees idle on Monday, MLB attention turned to key AL games that kept their rivals active ahead of a week featuring matchups versus the Astros and Red Sox. The Tampa Bay Rays beat the Detroit Tigers 4-1, bouncing back after a rough stretch by scoring early on a sequence of singles, a fielding error, and runs from Junior Caminero and Jonathan Aranda; Aranda added a leadoff homer in the sixth. Tampa’s Drew Rasmussen delivered six solid innings and the bullpen struck out seven. In the late game, the Boston Red Sox rallied to top the Miami Marlins 4-2, tying the score on a wild pitch after a lead-off double by Wilyer Abreu and adding runs in the ninth.
