Even if he ends up having a perfectly nice Yankees career, someone might ask you years from now, “Hey, remember that big game from Isiah Kiner-Falefa?” There’s a very good chance that they’ll mean this one.
Kiner-Falefa ended up driving in all three of the Yankees runs, on two completely polar opposite hits. The first two RBI came on his first home run of the season, taking a pitch into the Green Monster seats. Then late in the game, he bunted for a single, scoring a runner from third to break a tie, and give the Yankees the cushion they needed to win the game.
