In a spring training matchup on March 23, 2025, the New York Yankees and the Tampa Bay Rays ended in a 3-3 tie at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Florida.
The Yankees’ offense was highlighted by catcher Austin Wells, who launched a two-run home run to center field in the fifth inning, giving the team a 3-2 lead. This marked Wells’ sixth homer of the spring, showcasing his impressive form as the regular season approaches.
On the pitching side, the Yankees’ staff delivered a solid performance, holding the Rays to three runs on six hits. However, the offense managed only four hits throughout the game, indicating potential concerns about consistency at the plate.
The tie brings the Yankees’ spring training record to 14-13, reflecting a series of mixed outcomes as they prepare for Opening Day. While individual performances like Wells’ are encouraging, the team will need to address offensive inconsistencies to ensure success in the upcoming season.
