The scoring started immediately, with Gardner ripping a leadoff triple in the first before coming home on Rodriguez's fielder's choice. The offensive explosion extended into the next four innings with the Yankees scoring two, five, two and three runs in the second, third, fourth and fifth innings, respectively.
The 18 hits the Yankees recorded were a season high and the 14 runs tied a season high. Nathan Eovaldi bounced back from a dismal outing against Miami and got the win, while Alfredo Simon took the loss.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
