Chris Woodward jabs at Gleyber Torres' walk-off HR, calls Yankee Stadium 'a little league ballpark'

Gleyber Torres lifted the New York Yankees to a thrilling victory Sunday over the Texas Rangers with a walk-off home run to right field.

After the game, Rangers manager Chris Woodward also took aim at Yankee Stadium's short porch.

"Small ballpark, that's an easy out in 99% of ballparks. ... [Torres] just happened to hit it in a little league ballpark to right field," Woodward said after Texas' 2-1 loss in the opener of a doubleheader.

It was the seventh career walk-off hit for Torres, who was asked about Woodward's comments later Sunday after the completion of the doubleheader.
