Panic Time For Yankees? 3 Takeaways From ALDS Game 2 As Rays Go Up 2-0

The Yankees strutted into Tropicana Field talking about their Cy Young-favorite starter and a postseason-ready lineup. They whimpered out of it staring at a 2-0 ALDS hole.

After Tampa Bay ace Drew Rasmussen blanked the Yankees in Game 1, Freddy Peralta and the Rays finished the job in Game 2 with a controlling 5-2 win over New York in Monday’s Game 2. 

Now the Yankees, who have never truly threatened at any point this series, must win three straight to survive and advance to the ALCS.
