6-2 Tampa: Kazmir's still got it
Pinstripe Alley —
... There's still something about Scott Kazmir that upsets the Yankees because, in the midst of his worst season as a pro, he's still able to shut them down for seven innings.
Tampa Bay just had the better pitcher tonight. Sabathia did not bring his 'A game', and Kazmir did, allowing just one run in seven as opposed to Sabathia allowing six in 5.2.
Two errors and two GDPs certainly didn't help the cause. Jeter, Damon, Cano and Melky went 0-12.
The only real bright spot(s) from were Mark Melancon's 2.1 shutout frames in relief of ...
Yankees Lose To Rays And I Don’t Like It

The New York Yankees lost to the Tampa Rays by a score of 6-2. C.C. Sabathia started and got the loss.
At the start of the game they mentioned Johnny Damon’s home run total for the year. The obvious reason he has a lot of home runs is because of the wind tunnel.
Even though the Yankees made silly errors in this game, they made a highlight reel double play in the first inning that went from Cano to Jeter to Tex. It was awesome.
In the second inning, it seemed like Michael Kay was hinting that Scott Kazmir took steroids. I ...

Yankees shut down by Kazmir
lenNY's Yankees —
... Mark Melancon relieved Sabathia, and mowed down the Rays for the rest of the game. This was his Melancon’s first appearance since July 10, but Peter Abraham reported that the layoff was for no apparent reason.

Yanks Play Sloppy, Lose to Rays
YanksBlog.com —
This game looked promising for the Yankees before it started with CC Sabathia facing a struggling Scott Kazmir, but it wasn't meant to be as the Yankees failed to bring their "A" game to Tropicana Field and lost 62 to a desperate Rays team. Ugly defense was the culprit in this one along with some mediocre pitching from Sabathia. Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez both made throwing errors early on and Nick Swisher played a little hot potato in right field as he struggled with a couple plays out there. Despite the sketchy defense, however, five of the six runs allowed by CC ...
