Young slugger, Gleyber Torres, stepped up big time for his team, hitting two homers and getting four hits overall in a victory over the Orioles.
NJ.com reports:
Down three runs through five innings, the Yankees rallied for an 8-4 win to spoil the Orioles’ home opener.
Torres was the hero, as he was 4-for-4 with a single, double and two homers, including three-run, sixth-inning dinger that turned a 4-2 deficit into a 5-4 Yankees lead that held up.
By winning, the 3-4 Yankees avoided losing five of their first seven games for the first time since 1991 when a 2-5 start led to 71-91 season and the firing of manager Stump Merrill.
The Yankees appeared to be in big trouble Thursday, as the Orioles scored three first-inning runs facing James Paxton and were still ahead 4-1 through five.
