Juan Soto capped a five-run seventh inning by hitting a three-run homer as the New York Yankees capitalized on shoddy defense by the visiting Tampa Bay Rays in a 5-3 victory on Friday night.The Yankees won for the 14th time in 20 games to start the season following seventh-inning errors by Tampa Bay second baseman Curtis Mead and first baseman Yandy Diaz.Mead booted a grounder by Alex Verdugo with one out in the seventh on a ball that skipped under his glove. After a walk to Jose Trevino, Oswaldo Cabrera forged a 1-1 tie with a grounder that skipped by Diaz’s glove.Anthony Volpe snapped the tie with a soft RBI-single to center, and Soto lifted a 1-0 pitch from Chris Devenski (0-1) into the second deck in right field.Soto homered for the second straight game and his fifth homer of the season wasn’t his only highlight. He made a leaping catch at the right-field fence on Richie Palacios to end the third.Palacios homered in the sixth off New York starter Clarke Schmidt, and the Rays’ Issac Paredes hit a two-run single in the eighth off Ian Hamilton.Tampa Bay starter Tyler Alexander limited the Yankees to two hits in 5 1/3 innings. He struck out four and walked one while mixing in six pitches and throwing virtually all of his offerings under 90 mph.
