Paul O'Neill's nephew, Michael, a key to Tampa Yankees' doubleheader sweep

Centerfielder Michael O'Neill, the nephew of former Yankees rightfielder Paul O'Neill, went 1-for-5 with a home run, two walks, two stolen bases and two runs as Yankees Single-A Advanced affiliate Tampa swept a doubleheader with Palm Beach on Thursday.

O'Neill, 23, was selected in the third round of the 2013 draft by the Yankees. Following a productive season with Charleston in 2014, he's struggled with Tampa, hitting only .200 with a .260 on-base percentage in 19 games. O'Neill stole 42 bases a year ago but has only three this season for Tampa (24-23, 2nd place in Florida State League North, 4 games back).
