Johnny Damon, Casey Kotchman and Kelly Shoppach all connected in the third inning for three of Tampa Bay’s five solo home runs against CC Sabathia, and David Price again came out on top in a matchup of these elite lefties, lifting the Rays over the New York Yankees 5-1 Friday night.

With a full moon looming over the famed Yankee Stadium frieze in right field, light-hitting Elliot Johnson and Evan Longoria also homered in Tampa Bay’s fifth straight win.

The five homers were the most Sabathia (16-7) has allowed in his career. The Rays’ previous high for home runs in a game this season was three.

Price (10-10) improved to 3-0 in the five times he’s faced Sabathia, pitching eight dominant innings of six-hit ball.
