KANSAS CITY -- Stephen Drew has watched the dynamic duo of Jacoby Ellsbury and Brett Gardner spark the Yankees' lineup with regularity, and he is hoping to steal a lesson from their playbook.
Drew notched two hits in Saturday's 5-1 victory over the Royals, serving a soft fourth-inning single over the shift into left field and legging out a more conventional double in the sixth. As Drew tries to pump his batting average above the Mendoza line, he can't be picky.
"I'm going to take what they give me," Drew said.
