Tonight, the New York Yankees will take on the Tampa Bay Rays for the third game in a three-game series at Yankee Stadium.

After dropping the first two games in the series and barely making waves as the MLB trade deadline hit yesterday afternoon, the Bronx Bombers are looking to pick up their first win in August today.

As part of an agreement with Prime Video, this matchup is one of 20 Yankees games that’ll air exclusively on Prime Video for Prime subscribers in New York State, Connecticut, north and central New Jersey, and northeast Pennsylvania.

The game will feature the Yankees’ play-by-play announcer of 32 years, Michael Kay, behind the mic despite the game not being on the typical YES Network.

Want to tune in? Here’s everything you need to know about today’s tilt.
