Gleyber Torres had an eventful night
Gleyber Torres holds his hand after getting spiked during a play at second base during the Yankees' 4-1 loss Wednesday night.Yes, a masher was at the plate in Giancarlo Stanton and the bases were loaded in the bottom of the fifth. The Yankees had moved to within 3-1 when Stanton swung and missed at a first-pitch fastball from Reynaldo Lopez. The ball eluded catcher Kevan Smith and went to the backstop.
Gleyber Torres, the runner at third base, wasn’t thinking what might be with Stanton. He thought: “Ball to the backstop.” He broke for home.
