The New York Yankees staged a great comeback on Saturday to beat their divisional rivals, Tampa Bay Rays, 9-8, in a game that had the by far the best closer of all time throwing the opening pitch.
Indeed, it is the second time this season that Mariano Rivera stars in the traditional ceremony at Yankee Stadium, following doing the same in the first series of 2023 when New York rivaled the San Francisco Giants.

In addition to making the first pitch, the legendary Panamanian spoke with some of the Rays’ Latino figures, such as Dominican shortstop Wander Franco and Cuban-Mexican outfielder Randy Arozarena.
Similarly, the owner of 652 saves in MLB, always with the Yankees, once once more gave advice to youngsters from the Bronx team, particularly Venezuelan infielders Gleyber Torres and Oswaldo Cabrera, as well as center fielder Harrison Bader.

Rivera’s appearance brought luck to some “Mules” who won their second game in a row once morest a Tampa Bay that in any case arrived at the Sunday session with a 30-11 mark; the best of all majors.
Likewise, the Yankees closed the Saturday date by winning for the seventh time in their recent 10 challenges, despite still being 7.0 games away from the Rays themselves, in the American East.
