NEW YORK (AP) — George Springer and Alex Bregman paid tribute to Derek Jeter in their own way — with memorable first-inning home runs off Masahiro Tanaka.
Springer led off with a drive run into Monument Park just after Jeter’s No. 2 was retired there in a pregame ceremony, and Bregman capped a six-run first inning with a grand slam that propelled the Houston Astros to a 10-7 win over the New York Yankees on Sunday night and a doubleheader split.
Josh Reddick homered off the facing of the right-field second deck a pitch after Springer’s first homer.
