MINNEAPOLIS — Brett Gardner hit a career-high 28 homers during the regular season and hit so well throughout the year he’s been in the three-hole for the entire ALDS.
In Monday’s 5-1 series-clinching Game 3 win over the Twins, Gardner delivered another RBI, but this one came in more typical Gardner fashion.
With the Yankees leading 1-0, Gio Urshela led off the third with a double to left-center, where Jake Cave made an ill-conceived and poorly executed diving attempt. Urshela wound up at second and moved to third on a grounder to short by DJ LeMahieu.
