Justin Smoak hit a two-run homer in the seventh inning and a go-ahead grand slam in the eighth to rally Toronto past NY 7-4 on Sunday.
“It’s going to be chilly but I’m looking forward to it”, Judge said. You got your (Solarte) run, now you’re looking at anything else as a bonus. Marisnick hit his second homer, connecting early against Matt Moore.
“There was a guy who did it during a spring training game and me and (Curtis) Granderson were talking about how it’s not done enough”, Pillar said. “But I got some air high-5s”. The Yankees are dealing with injuries in the outfield as Clint Frazier, Jacoby Ellsbury, Aaron Hicks and Billy McKinnery are all on the DL, along with first baseman Greg Bird.
It’s a tough break and you really feel for him, but his absence now opens up a spot for highly touted prospect Miguel Andujar to be called up.
And it explains why he was in the clubhouse when Justin Smoak ruined the Yankees’ day, first in the seventh inning with a two-run homer off Tommy Kahnle, then in the eighth with a two-out, full-count grand slam off David Robertson. It goes into the record book as a stolen base, but I’m glad Sanchez didn’t throw down.
In the top of the ninth, Stanton hit his second blast, this time taking right-hander and former Yankee Tyler Clippard out of the park for a solo shot.
“We’re not in a flawless world”, Cashman said.
Luis Severino (1-0) pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings for the Yankees, who won their opener for the first time since 2011.
CINCINNATI – Bryce Harper hit two home runs, leadoff man Adam Eaton capped his big opening series with a two-run drive and Washington beat Cincinnati for a three-game sweep under new manager Dave Martinez. “He shut us down pretty good”.
The Yankees are 2-2 SU and 2-1 ATS. Austin Pruitt starts for the Rays after becoming the fifth reliever in club history to win an opener.
“Ultimately, that’s what truly makes a good lineup over the course of 162”, Boone said.
Boone had been a television analyst since retiring as a player after the 2009 season.

As long as they provide offense, though, NY will surely find a way to tread water until it is fully healthy again. He laboured through a 21-pitch first inning – walking a pair – before escaping with back-to-back strikeouts. Duffy is slashing.375/.375/.438 with six hits and one RBI, while Miller (.200/.333/.500) is up to two hits, two RBIs and two runs scored.
