The New York Yankees got a breath of life late in Game 2 of the American League Division Series against the Tampa Bay Rays with another home run for Ben Rice.
Pitcher Ian Seymour threw a changeup to the
inside of the strike zone and the designated hitter smacked it into right field. It was going, going, gone!
The blast was a solo home run and cut into the Rays' lead 5-2. That ended up being the final score as Tampa Bay goes up 2-0 in the series.

Rice also homered in the top of the fourth of the game on Monday, Oct. 5 in Tampa Bay for New York's only other score of the night.
This is his second game of the postseason with multiple home runs. He also hit two out of the park in Game 1 of the wild-card series against the Boston Red Sox. The second was a grand slam.
