The Yankees defeated the Twins 4-3 yesterday afternoon. Greg Bird, by himself, accounted for the four runs with a couple of two run dingers. Those were both his first and second major league home runs.
I think it's fair to say that Greg Bird has made quite an impression since coming up from the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. With the extent of Mark Teixeira's injury most unknown, Greg Bird has gone from back-up player to starting first baseman in the span of a few days. Short sample size and all that, but thus far he does not look over-matched in any conceivable way.
