Cano Leads Yankees to 6-4 Win Over Devil Rays
Baseball fans saw a good contest between the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

A good performance from second baseman Robinson Cano helped the New York Yankees defeat the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, 6-4. Cano was 4-4 with a home run, 2 doubles, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Yankees. The Devil Rays have now dropped 5 straight.

Mark Kotsay's at-bat in the bottom of the fifth inning was a big one for New York. Coming to bat with two out, runners on 1st and 2nd and New York trailing 4-2, the right fielder reached on an error by the 2B, driving in 1 run.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Kotsay.
