Coming off two straight double-digit run performances, the Yankees rolled into Sunday night looking to continue the offensive fireworks. And while the bats did not quite live up to the promise of the previous two games, they did enough to secure the victory in a pretty humdrum affair.
The home team got the scoring started early as Gio Urshela laced a one-out single to left. Mike Tauchman followed that up with a jam-shot single that he muscled to center field, putting runners on first and second. After Gleyber Torres struck out, Mike Ford fought off a 1-1 fastball in on his hands for a bloop single to center, plating Urshela for the first run of the game.
