ST. PETERSBURG — Jose Trevino was ready to toss his bat aside, believing he’d just seen a pitch sail high for ball four. The Yankees’ catcher was surprised when that offering was rung up as a strike, and even more shocked two pitches later, when he was punched out looking at a borderline offering.
As Trevino slammed his bat against the dugout bench, pitching coach Matt Blake was ejected, appearing to tell home-plate umpire Edwin Moscoso: “You missed two!” That was how the evening went for the Yankees, who dropped a 5-4 contest to the Rays at Tropicana Field on Thursday, accepting yet another series loss
