New York Yankees DFS SPIN
Harrison Bader swatted his first home run of the season on Friday night, but it wasn’t enough to power the Yankees to victory over the Rays. Bader clobbered his 436-foot (105.8 mph EV) three-run blast off of Garrett Cleavinger in the top half of the sixth inning, tying the game at 4-4. It would be his only hit in four at-bats on the night — and the extent of the Yankees’ offense. He’s hitting .182/.182/.455 with a homer and three RBI since rejoining the lineup on Tuesday.
Tampa Bay Rays DFS SPIN
Randy Arozarena homered for the second straight game on Friday night as the Rays eked out a 5-4 victory over the visiting Yankees. Arozarena started the scoring in this one, crushing a 422-foot (108.2) solo shot off of Jhony Brito in the opening frame. He was also hit by two pitches in the contest, finishing the night 1-for-2 officially. He has been a monster at the plate this season — slashing .328/.401/.613 with nine homers, 30 RBI and three stolen bases (in six attempts).
