MINNEAPOLIS -- Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier stood frozen in the batter's box as he watched Minnesota lefty Taylor Rogers blow a 94.1-mph fastball by him for an inning-ending strikeout on Wednesday.
Rogers was greeted with a chorus of applause from the fans at Target Field after another scoreless eighth inning thrown by the reliable reliever. Still, his face remained stoic as he trekked back to the dugout, a near permanent facial expression according to his teammates.
"He's a little awkward sometimes," All-Star closer Brandon Kintzler said. "He doesn't show a lot of emotion, but when he does, it fires me up because you know he's really into it.
