Torres homers in 4th straight to outshine Ohtani, propel Yankees

Modal Trigger

Gleyber Torres belts a go-ahead solo homer in the seventh inning of the Yankees' 2-1 win Friday.

The Yankees called up Gleyber Torres on April 22, when they were just a game over .500.

A little more than a month later, Torres still hasn’t stopped hitting — and the Yankees have hardly stopped winning.

The rookie sparked another victory Friday, driving in both runs and hitting the go-ahead homer in the seventh inning as the Yankees beat the Angels, 2-1, in The Bronx.

Torres’ opposite-field shot off Jim Johnson was his sixth in his past six games and he has gone deep in each of his past four games.
