NEW YORK -- The Yankees have never had back-to-back Rookie of the Year Award winners, but with Gleyber Torres following Aaron Judge's remarkable campaign, it appears that they are going to have a legitimate chance.
Torres crushed his 13th home run, a three-run shot off left-hander Blake Snell, as part of a four-run fifth inning in the Yankees' contest against the Rays at Yankee Stadium on Thursday. Torres' go-ahead blast to left field gave the Yankees a 4-2 lead.
It was the second consecutive game with a homer for the 21-year-old Torres, who leads all Major League rookies in homers and RBIs (33) since making his big league debut on April 22.
