Is Tyler Austin a guy now?
Has the fifth time proven a charm for the feisty first baseman-outfielder?
It might be too early to render an official judgment. No need exists to do so right now. Yet has any Yankee advanced his cause as much as Austin in this opening month?
The Yankees beat the Twins again Wednesday night, outlasting their perpetual punching bags 7-4 at a foggy Yankee Stadium, and Austin earned the game’s first star by excelling on both sides of play. If this marked his last game before he starts serving a suspension for his role in an April 11 bench-clearing brawl against the Red Sox in Boston, then he left ’em wanting more.
