Gleyber Torres gets his first taste of Red Sox-Yankees on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium with the entire baseball universe buzzing about the 21-year-old second baseman.
Since being promoted from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on April 22, nothing has bothered Torres. Now we will see if participating in the best rivalry in sports can penetrate his psyche.
“It’s the same game, try to stay focused and try to win,’’ Torres said when asked about facing the AL East leaders.
Because the Yankees are 14-1 since Torres was called up, he knows almost nothing else but winning and isn’t likely to get his head filled with advice from those who have been through the fire of Red Sox-Yankees.
