NEW YORK -- The first-place Yankees had an unlikely hero Monday night ... one next to nobody in Yankee Stadium surely ever heard of by name.
This contribution to a 4-2 Yankees win over the Kansas City Royals was just as important as Michael Pineda pitching into the seventh inning or Brett Gardner starting a comeback with yet another homer or Didi Gregorius putting one deep into the right-field seats to turn a one-run deficit into a one-run lead.
What's wrong with Tanaka? Why is Judge hitting so many homers?
