SEATTLE — Where Mike Ford fits into the Yankees’ future is a question that doesn’t have a definitive answer.
Presently, he has turned into a productive bat that is helping to drive the Yankees to their first AL East title since 2012.
On Sunday in Los Angeles, the left-handed hitting first baseman homered off Dodgers lefty Clayton Kershaw in the sixth inning and doubled in a run in the eighth to help the Yankees to a 5-1 victory.
On Monday night at T-Mobile Park, the hefty Princeton University product lifted the Yankees to a 5-4 win with two home runs against a Mariners team that gave up on him last year.
