Situational hitting is one of the biggest reasons for the success of the 2019 New York Yankees. However, all four runs in Saturday’s win came via the long ball.
DJ LeMahieu poked the winning home run into the short porch in right field in the bottom of the 11th to give the Yankees their first win over the Oakland Athletics this season.

LeMahieu’s dinger was as clutch as they come, but he would have never had the chance if not for heroics from Aaron Judge.
