Didi Gregorius’ bunt gamble didn’t pay off for Yankees

LOS ANGELES — Two bunts to the left side of an infield that was wide open thanks to an aggressive Dodgers shift in the ninth inning might have been head-scratching to some, especially after the second one resulted in a strikeout when it went foul. It made perfect sense, however, to the bunter who had homered twice Friday night.

“If they are going to give it to me and I get on base for the team, I don’t think it is a bad idea,’’ Didi Gregorius said after the Yankees dropped a 2-1 decision on Saturday at Dodger Stadium.
