ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Didi Gregorius wasn’t so sure about a curtain call after his 10th-inning home run. Understandable, given his New York Yankees were on the road.
A big contingent of Yankees fans in Anaheim implored him to do it, and Aaron Judge convinced him.
“It was a little weird for me,” Gregorius said. “There were a lot of fans here. I didn’t expect that to be honest … (my teammates) told me to give the fans what they wanted. Especially the guy right here (Judge).”
Gregorius hit a solo homer in the 10th inning, and the New York Yankees won their seventh straight by beating the Los Angeles Angles 4-3 on Friday night after two-way sensation Shohei Ohtani left with an ankle injury.
