BOSTON -- Didi Gregorius set the tone for the Yankees' pivotal four-game series in Boston in his first at-bat against the Red Sox on Thursday night at Fenway Park.
With Aaron Hicks on second and Giancarlo Stanton on first, Gregorius stepped up to the plate with no outs for the Yankees, and he crushed a three-run home run on Brian Johnson's 88.3-mph fastball on a 2-0 count, giving New York a 3-0 lead.
Mookie Betts chased the ball as it sailed a projected 383 feet, per Statcast™.
