By Felo News Desk · Published
The Tampa Bay Rays advanced to the American League Championship Series after a 4‑3 win over the New York Yankees in Game 3 of the ALDS on Wednesday night.
In the Rays’ locker room, the team played and sang along to Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York,” a song traditionally heard after Yankees victories at Yankee Stadium.
The victory was secured by a two‑run homer from Victor Mesa Jr. in the sixth inning, giving the Rays a 4‑2 lead. A later review turned a Yankees two‑run home‑run attempt by Anthony Volpe into an RBI double after a fan interfered.
Yankees relievers Griffin Jax, Cam Booser, Kevin Kelly and Bryan Baker closed out the game, and New York’s postseason run ended for the second straight year.
