It’s always nice to get a reminder of how good the Yankees’ offense can be.
In the third inning, the Yankees batted around, scoring seven runs in the process. Other than a brief period in the bottom half of that inning, they really never looked back after that. The offense combined for three home runs, 10 total hits, and nine runs in a 9-2 win over the Rays.
Despite all the notable names in the Yankees’ lineup, they kicked things with a home run from possibly the most unexpected source. Adeiny Hechavarria got the Yankees on the board when he led off the third inning with a home run.
