NEW YORK (AP) — The first leadoff, walk-off sacrifice fly in major league history put the New York Yankees back in commanding position for a playoff berth with just over two weeks left in the regular season.
Yes, that’s right, Luke Voit LED OFF the 10th inning with a game-ending sacrifice fly.
“It’s 2020, man. Things are weird, and you got to take advantage of what opportunities you get,” Voit said after the Yankees beat Baltimore 2-1 Saturday to extend their winning streak to four.
Thank this year’s rule calling for extra innings to start with a runner on second base.
