Gleyber Torres Emerges as Postseason Star in Game 1, Perfect Timing for Yankees

It's safe to say Gleyber Torres likes the postseason.

The New York Yankees second baseman hit .417 with three doubles, a home run and four RBI in the Yanks' division series sweep of the Minnesota Twins.

He essentially matched that output in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series on Saturday, as he went 3-for-5 with a double, a homer and five runs batted in in a 7-0 victory over the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park.

Left fielder Giancarlo Stanton and third baseman Gio Urshela added solo home runs to round out New York's offensive attack.
