Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius had himself a week’s worth of production in one rain-soaked game. The 28-year-old, native of Curacao went 4-for-4 with two home runs, a double and a walk, and eight RBI.
Gregorius’ eight RBI are the most ever by a Yankee in a home opener. He also became just the sixth shortstop in baseball history to accomplish the feat.
Following the Yankees’ 11-4 win over the Rays, Didi deflected much of his well-deserved praise onto his teammates, as told to Newsday.
“For me, it’s something nice,” Gregorius said.
