Recent years have seen the Rays become a thorn in the Yankees ' side: since 2008, they seem to consistently have the Yankees' number, playing the Bombers hard no matter how dominant or mediocre they happen to be at the moment.
In the early years of the franchise, back when the team from Tampa Bay was still known as the Devil Rays, things were much more one-sided. In fact, on July 22, 1999, the Yankees looked to improve to a whopping 16-1 record all-time against their upstart division rivals.
Record: 57-37 (1st, 6.0 GA) Right before the game, Tampa Bay starter Wilson Álvarez was scratched with a right triceps injury, prompting them to hand the ball over to reliever Rick White for what would now be known as a bullpen game.
