The Tampa Bay Rays defeated the New York Yankees 5-2 on October 6, 2026, to take a 2-0 lead in their AL Division Series. Richie Palacios hit a two-run single in a four-run fifth inning aided by New York's defensive miscues. The Yankees face elimination, having scored just two runs across two games with Aaron Judge out due to a calf injury.
