How a hotel breakfast server helped Yankees' Tyler Wade hit 1st career homer

BALTIMORE -- The dugout scene after Yankees infielder Tyler Wade's first career homer provided some in-game comedy Wednesday night with a longer-than-usual silent treatment.

Wade provided more during his post-game interview when he told a story about a breakfast server at the Yankees' hotel telling him that morning to eat a raspberry sorbet for dessert because it will make him hit a home run.

And what do you know, it did!

"That was kind of what I was thinking about when I was running the bases just because I ate that thing," Wade said after going 3-for-5 with a homer and double as the Yankees' second baseman in a 9-0 blanking of the Baltimore Orioles.
