ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Austin Meadows and Randy Arozarena homered off Domingo Germán, helping the Tampa Bay Rays extend their mastery over the New York Yankees with a 4-0 victory. The AL champions have won 10 of 12 regular-season games between the division rivals since the start of 2020 and also eliminated the Yankees from last year’s playoffs in a five-game series that went the distance. Meadows hit his third homer of the season in the first inning. Arozarena, the rookie who led Tampa Bay’s run to last year’s World Series, went deep in the third. Six Rays pitchers combined to limit the Yankees to five hits.
