Torres walks off Rangers with 9th-inning opposite field blast, Yankees take opener

NEW YORK -- Gleyber Torres hit a game-ending homer to lead off the ninth inning and the New York Yankees beat the Texas Rangers 2-1 Sunday in the opener of a doubleheader.

Torres gave the Yankees their third walk-off victory of the season when he lifted a 3-1 sinker from John King (1-1) into the short porch in right field. His fourth homer this year propelled New York to its 12th win in 13 games.

Torres also had a game-ending single April 23 against Cleveland and now has seven career walk-off hits, including two homers.
