ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. — Liam Hendriks was on the phone with his wife, Kristi, after a tough outing Saturday against the New York Yankees.
He surrendered a two-run homer to Joey Gallo two days after giving up a pair of two-run homers in the ninth against the Yankees in the Field of Dreams game in Dyersville, Iowa.
“She was like, ‘Yeah, you are tipping,’ ” Hendriks said Wednesday. “Having that conversation, I was like, ‘I hope it’s tipping because tipping is the easiest thing to fix.’ If it’s something mechanical, if it’s something else, those are the hard things to fix.
