The New York Yankees have already clinched the AL East Division, but they're looking to compete for the No. 1 seed-- and break the hearts of the rival Tampa Bay Rays. On Tuesday night, the Yankees struck first at Tropicana Field thanks to a solo homer from outfielder Cameron Maybin, who sent it to dead-center field and gave New York the early 1-0 lead.

That is now Maybin's 10th home run of the season, which makes him the 14th player on this Yankees team to hit double-digit dingers.

You guessed it, that's an official MLB single-season record. The New York Yankees are really living up to that Bronx Bombers moniker.
