ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Billy Butler has hits in his first five games as a member of the New York Yankees, the best streak to start a career in pinstripes in more than two years. His two doubles Tuesday helped the Yankees to a 5-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays to snap a five-game losing streak.Billys done a really good job, manager Joe Girardi said. We brought him in here to face left-handers. He had a couple of doubles again today. Hes swung the bat really well for us. Its important that you try to spread it around -- the more guys you have stacked together that can swing the bat obviously helps.As the Yankees struggle to stay alive in the American League wild-card chase, trailing by 3 1/2 games with 12 to play, every win carries urgency now. New York will try to win Wednesday against a pitcher with near-historic success against them.Rays starter Alex Cobb (1-0, 3.06) is making his fourth start since returning from Tommy John surgery, but he has always pitched well against the Yankees. For his career, hes 5-2 with a 2.13 ERA, and among pitchers with 10 or more starts against New York, the .187 average is the lowest in baseball history.Cobb earned his first win of the season last week against Toronto, going 6.2 innings and holding the Blue Jays to two hits and one run. He faced the Yankees just two weeks ago, allowing three earned runs in six innings and taking a no-decision.What helps the Yankees is that RHP Masahiro Tanaka also has phenomenal career numbers against the Rays -- hes 5-0 with a 2.42 ERA, with 47 strikeouts against only two walks. Overall, hes 13-4 with a 2.97 ERA that is the lowest in the AL, giving him a chance to be the Yankees first AL ERA champ since Rudy May in 1980. In his last eight starts overall, hes 6-0 with a 1.86 ERA, so hits will be hard to come by for both teams Wednesday.The Rays will have to figure out how to get past Yankees rookie catcher Gary Sanchez, who has 17 home runs in his first 44 games, including the game-winning three-run home run in seventh inning of Tuesdays 5-3 win.I know Gary Sanchez is having a tremendous year, Rays manager Kevin Cash said after Tuesdays loss, deciding to allow reliever Brad Boxberger to pitch to Sanchez rather than intentionally walk him with first base open and two outs.Theyll also need to step up at the plate, after striking out 16 times against the Yankees on Tuesday, matching New Yorks staff high this season and their most in any nine-inning road game since 2012. The Yankees now have 42 come-from-behind wins, their most in any season since 2012.
