Ben Rice hit two homers and drove in five runs, Austin Wells also went deep and the New York Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays 12-4 Thursday to split a four-game series between the AL’s top two teams.

Junior Caminero connected for the Rays, who have a four-game lead over the Yankees in the East.

Both Rice and Caminero will compete in the Home Run Derby in Philadelphia on Monday night.

The injury-riddled Yankees improved to 15-19 without three-time AL MVP Aaron Judge, who will have his injured right rib reimaged next week.

The Yankees won for just the third time in 14 games. They’ve lost seven games in the standings in that span as the Rays have gone 10-4.

Tampa Bay’s pitchers had 45 strikeouts and only two walks in the first three games of the series before New York’s slumping hitters broke out with 14 hits and 12 runs.

Thursday's win had the most runs and hits in a game for the Yankees since a 12-2 victory over the White Sox on June 16.

The Yankees chased All-Star Drew Rasmussen (7-5) with five straight hits during a six-run third inning.

Trent Grisham’s RBI single gave New York a 2-1 lead and Rice followed with a two-run drive to right.

Rasmussen then gave up consecutive infield singles and left after Jose Caballero’s RBI single. The right-hander allowed six runs and seven hits in 2 1/3 innings. His ERA rose from 2.73 to 3.26.

Rasmussen came in with an 0.89 ERA - five earned runs in 50 2/3 innings - against New York. It was the lowest for a pitcher against any opponent in major league history since earned runs became an official stat in 1913.

Reliever Paul Blackburn started for the Yankees, who used seven pitchers in a bullpen game. Blackburn gave up one run in two innings. Ryan Yarbrough (1-0) tossed a scoreless inning for the win.

Rice hit his 28th homer, a towering, three-run shot to right-center, off Casey Legumina in the sixth to extend New York’s lead to 10-3.

Caminero hit his 27th homer 438 feet the opposite way to right-center in the first.

The Rays have struck out the Yankees 45 times in the first three games of the series.

Aranda had an RBI single in the third inning off Gerrit Cole (3-4) that scored Yandy Diaz, an RBI double in the fifth inning off Cole that plated Nick Fortes and added another RBI in the seventh against Fernando Cruz when Taylor Walls scored on a sacrifice fly.

Diaz went 4-for-4 with a run and raised his batting average to .327.

Cole was charged with three runs over 6 1/3 innings. He gave up seven hits, struck out six and walked one on 97 pitches.

New York Yankees set a dubious MLB record with back-to-back 17-strikeout games—can Aaron Boone’s squad break out of their midsummer slump? Offensive woes mount as questions swirl about starter reliability and the team’s approach at the plate, especially facing dominant arms like Shane McClanahan. Gerrit Cole’s next outing looms large as the Yankees seek momentum against the Tampa Bay Rays.

The conversation focused on the Anthony Volpe vs. Jose Caballero shortstop debate, exploring team performance with each player and how Volpe’s early accolades might be impacting his development. A key theme that emerged was the lack of urgency and accountability in the Yankees’ clubhouse under Boone, with concerns about clubhouse culture, player resilience, and the roadmap through a challenging stretch against the Rays, Nationals, Dodgers, and Pirates. Will the Yankees’ strikeout-heavy offense sink their postseason hopes—or can a change at shortstop and stronger pitching spark a turnaround?

New York Yankees spiral as defensive miscues and cold bats fuel a 1-5 homestand against under .500 opponents. Can Aaron Boone’s club turn things around, or is their midseason slump spiraling out of control? Stacey Gotsulias and Brian McKeon spotlight a rash of unearned runs, persistent first-inning deficits, and glaring struggles from key hitters like Ben Rice, Anthony Volpe, and Austin Wells. The conversation questions Boone’s postgame optimism and examines the fan base’s growing frustration with the current direction.

Amid the chaos, Gerrit Cole, Cody Bellinger, and first-time All-Stars Ben Rice and Cam Schlitler earn recognition, but can All-Star nods lift clubhouse morale? The hosts preview a daunting four-game set at Tropicana Field versus the Tampa Bay Rays and react to longtime MLB umpires CB Buckner and Laz Diaz set to retire. Is there hope for a Yankees resurgence—or are the issues too deep to fix midseason?
