Gleyber Torres, Yankees Beat Nationals 3-2 Despite Patrick Corbin's Strong Start
The New York Yankees claimed the rubber match against the Washington Nationals, 3-2, in their three-game set to open the 2020 MLB season at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C.
The teams had split the first two matchups, the Yankees taking a rain-shortened Opening Day clash and the Nationals responding with a 9-2 victory Saturday.
Trea Turner got the Nationals on the board with a solo home run to left field in the third inning.

One inning later, Eric Thames singled home former Yankees second baseman Starlin Castro to double Washington's advantage.
