Rodriguez homered for the first time since coming off the disabled list, Tanaka pitched seven shutout innings and the Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 on Friday night. Tanaka (3-0) scattered two hits and struck out four to run his career-best unbeaten streak to 11 consecutive starts, dating to last season. Kirby Yates allowed Steve Pearce's two-out solo homer in the ninth before Aroldis Chapman got the final out. Brett Gardner drew a one-out walk in the sixth and went to third when Archer was charged with an error for an errant throw on a pickoff attempt. Jacoby Ellsbury went 2 for 4 against Archer and has 18 hits off the Rays' opening day starter in 28 at-bats. Beltran had success filling in at DH while Rodriguez was on the DL, but don't look for him to get a major increase in that role "This team was built, when we started the year, for Alex to DH and Carlos to play right field," Girardi said.
