Greg Bird’s issues — both on offense and with his glove — didn’t seem to be going away until he went deep to lead off the bottom of the eighth inning of the Yankees’ 11-6 win over the Blue Jays Saturday at the Stadium.
He was booed again after striking out in the second inning. Bird also failed to come up with a scoop on a throw from Didi Gregorius in the seventh on a grounder to the hole by Justin Smoak. Bird was 8-for-63 with 17 strikeouts since his previous home run before smacking his 10th of the season.
