Pinstriped Portsider Pounded

Baseball’s best blossomed in the Bronx
A two-game sweep
An eleven hit test
Dropping the world champs eight to six
The southpaw starter endured a loss
Tagged for the first time
Half a dozen earned runs
A mediocre mound mess
The guests were grand
A thorough three spot first
Via the long ball
Pounding and pasting the pea to the stands
A struggling starter survived
A trying and tying affair
Rescued by an offense
Remarkable on the road, revived
The only team to sweep New York
And batter the Yankee ace
Connected for their sixth straight
Creaming and clobbering with twisting torque
The Rays shine with fastidious flair
They pitch well
Are fundamentally sound
Bullpens they break down and tear
The Bombers will return
To face the New York Mets
Injuries insure
In winning, they remain stern
