NEW YORK -- The Yankees were giving up an out with two runners on base in the bottom of the ninth inning Saturday, trying to move the winning run 90 feet to third when Ramon Flores dropped a bunt to the left of the mound. Brad Boxberger picked up the ball, glanced at second and threw to first.
Pretty routine stuff on both ends.
Except Boxberger’s throw reached Jake Elmore on a short hop to set off a quick chain of events that allowed the Yankees to dance out of Yankee Stadium with another walk-off win, this one 3-2.
