Yankees Handle Devil Rays, Nab 13-6 Win
Though the conditions were not ideal, the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Devil Rays came back from a rain delay to finish their game.

New York third baseman Travis Hafner was a significant contributor in his team's 13-6 triumph over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. He went 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 for the Yankees. Scott Vander Weg was the winner in relief. His record is now 4-1. The losing pitcher was Sillvestre Airosa.

The Yankees got an important contribution from designated hitter Mark Kotsay, who in the bottom of the third hit a fastball to left-center for a 2-run double. It was his 9th double of the season and put the Yankees ahead, 7-2.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Hafner. "You've got to get results."

The AL East Division-leading Yankees are 58-40.
