A-Rod's HR the difference for Yanks in 4-3 win vs. Mariners
YANKEES 4, MARINERS 3
Alex Rodriguez may not know comedy, but he sure knows hitting.
Fresh off lukewarm reviews of the “apology” skit he did with Ken Jeong at the ESPY Awards — during which the comedian/actor served as Rodriguez’s spokesman in apologizing for everything from gluten to the financial crisis in Greece, but not for using PEDs — the slugger put on a performance worthy of a standing ovation from the sellout crowd at the Stadium Friday night.
A-Rod started the “second half” of his renaissance season by hammering a seventh-inning solo homer into the home bullpen in right center field to snap a tie score and send the Yankees to a 4-3 victory over the Mariners before 47,086.
