Yesterday afternoon, the Yankees won for the sixth time in their last seven games, and they did so thanks in large part to shortstop Didi Gregorius. He socked a two-run dinger to blow the game open, and also made several excellent defensive plays. Didi had five balls hit at him yesterday and I don’t think one was routine.
This is my — and surely yours as well — favorite Gregorius play from yesterday’s game. Probably the team’s best defensive play of the year, no? Delino DeShields Jr. can fly and Didi still got him by a step.
