So many are quick to dismiss the aging Brett Gardner. Tonight, they needed him to avoid a doubleheader sweep at the hands of the Baltimore Orioles.
With two incredible running catches in center and a no-doubter of a home run, Gardner singlehandedly propelled the New York Yankees to victory behind an impressive start by recently recalled Luis Cessa.
After dropping Game One by blowing a 4-2 lead, the Yankees came clawing back with a vengeance, with Gardner leading the charge on both sides of the ball.
Let’s take a look at how it all went down in tonight’s victory over the last-place Orioles.
