NEW YORK -- Jazz Chisholm stood at first base in the seventh inning of the New York Yankees' 6-5 win Saturday night, reading the game in front of him, calculating whether there was a chance for him to swipe second.
He represented the winning run in the Yankees' seesaw clash against the Kansas City Royals in Game 1 of the American League Division Series. Reaching scoring position was paramount.
Finally, with Anthony Volpe in a full count against Michael Lorenzen, he let first base coach Travis Chapman know it was time.
