The ball dropped, and Luke Voit immediately thought triple, he said. He didn’t know when — or if — the chance would come again.
“I saw he hadn’t gotten to it yet, and I kind of just said, ‘Screw it, I’m going,’ ” Voit said. “I don’t get those very often.”
Leading off the bottom of the seventh Wednesday against the Padres, Voit hit a liner off former Yankees reliever Adam Warren to center field. It hung long enough for Manuel Margot to think he could make the catch, but his diving attempt failed and the ball rolled deep into the outfield.
