Hicks Excels, Tampa Bay Blows Out New York
A good performance from right fielder Aaron Hicks helped the Tampa Bay Rays defeat the New York Yankees, 13-3. Hicks went 4 for 5 with a home run and 2 doubles, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the Rays. Tampa Bay goes to 68-58. The win puts them 3 games up in their division.

Tampa Bay used the clutch hitting of Matt Chapman to capture the win. The third baseman drilled a bases-clearing double in the top of the sixth inning to give the Rays the lead, 7-3. For the game, Chapman had 1 single and 1 double in 4 at-bats.

"I'm just happy to help the team win," Chapman told the Tampa Bay Gazette.
