The Gleyber Torres Era Begins With a Win

By -
Happy Gleyber Day! The Yankees finally called up their top prospect, Gleyber Torres! Although Torres was unable to record a hit in his debut, the Yankees were still able to pick up a win!

Didi Gregorius got the Yankees on the board early. With two outs in the first inning, Gregorius smacked the 1-1 pitch from Jaime Garcia into the seats in right to quickly put the Yanks up 1-0.

One inning later, the Yankees were at it again. With two outs and two on, Austin Romine came to the plate. He laced a two run double down the right field line to give the Yankees a three run lead.

As for Luis Severino, he was dealing. The Blue Jays were unable to do anything offensively until the sixth inning. With one out, Severino served up a solo home run to Teoscar Hernandez, cutting their lead to two.

The Yankees got that run right back in their half of the sixth when Miguel Andujar doubled home Gary Sanchez. Gregorius then added a sacrifice fly in the seventh. 

David Robertson came on in the eighth to relieve Luis Severino, who had pitched seven strong innings. Robertson made quick work of the Jays and then handed the ball off to Aroldis Chapman to finish the job.  Although Chapman walked a couple of batters, he managed to get the job done and close out a Yankees' 5-1 victory. 

With his four hit performance today, Miguel Andujar is now 13 for his last 24 with ten extra base hits to go with his seven runs and RBIs. As a whole, the Yankees win their first series since their home opening two game set against the Rays. They will look to carry this momentum into tomorrow as they try for their third win in a row.


Winning Pitcher: Luis Severino (3-1, 2.32 ERA) 7 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 6 Ks
Losing Pitcher: Jaime Garcia (2-1, 4.57 ERA) 5.1 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 6 Ks
Notables:
Miguel Andujar: 4-4, 1 RBI, 1 R
Austin Romine: 1-3, 2 RBIs
Didi Gregorius: 1-3, 1 HR, 2 RBIs, 2 R
Gary Sanchez: 1-3, 2 R

Trade Market the Perfect Storm for Yankees to Acquire Starter

 UPDATE D 11/18/15 We’ve all heard it: The Yankees aren’t likely to be big spenders this offseason. Hearing this makes me chuckle as the Yankees have the dollars to field a $500 million pay roll if they wanted to, but their dedication to winning just hasn’t been there since the passing of good ole’ George. Sure little rumors have serviced here or there about them maybe pursuing Zach Greinke who has recently opted out of his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but that move reeks of the move CC Sabathia pulled in opting out of his contract with the Yankees a few years back to simply restructure his contract and make a better payday.   However, instances like CC Sabathia and Masahiro Tanaka are why I believe the Yankees aren’t going to shell out big money and a long term contract for a big name starter this year. There are simply too many factors that could explode in the Pinstripes’ face when giving a long contract to a starter as evidenced by Sabathia’s fall from g...

Pride, Passion and Pinstripes: The greatest Yankees to ever touch the field

No team in baseball history has a story quite like the Yankees. 27 times they’ve found baseball Nirvana which is 16 more than the next closest team (Cardinals). 40 times have the Yankees won the American League, and that is also a major league record. The franchise won four straight championships from 1936-1939 and five straight from 1949-1953, a task no other team has ever accomplished. With all this sustained success, the team has seen some of the greatest players in league history proudly call the Bronx home. Together the Yankees could field multiple All-Star teams with their collective legends, but in this article, I’m going to try and put together a team of legends that I think would be absolutely unbeatable.   Photo Credit: Creative Commons
