Didi gets to Kluber again with solo blast

CLEVELAND -- Didi Gregorius enjoyed what he called one of the best nights of his career last autumn at Progressive Field, keeping the Yankees' postseason dreams alive by homering twice off Indians ace Corey Kluber in the deciding Game 5 of the American League Division Series.

The Bombers shortstop picked up where he left off on Thursday, belting a fourth-inning offering from the right-hander over the center-field wall for a game-tying solo blast. Greg Bird's run-scoring double later in the inning gave the Yankees a 4-3 lead against the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner.
