NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Even though Aaron Boone’s comments landing him in a bit of trouble with Major League Baseball, the Bronx “savages” were unleashed on yet another helpless opponent Friday.
Edwin Encarnación hit a grand slam and a trio of ex-Rockies beat up on their former team as the Yankees defeated Colorado 8-2.
Encarnación lined his 12th career slam in the third inning off Kyle Freeland, and first-year Yankees DJ LeMahieu, Adam Ottavino and Mike Tauchman poured it on in their first games against their old club. LeMahieu had two hits and two RBI, Ottavino struck out the side in a perfect relief inning and Tauchman had a career-high three hits, a stolen base and threw out a runner at home plate from left field.
