- The Yankees touted Gio Urshela as a slick defender, but on the day that the veteran arrived to begin his unexpected opportunity with the Yankees, he cryptically suggested that he had made significant changes to his plate approach. Pressed for details, he replied that his performance would speak for itself.
And it has. Filling in for the injured Miguel Andujar, Urshela has provided everything the Yankees could have asked for. The third baseman stole hits with his glove, then contributed a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the 12th inning and stroked a deciding run-scoring single in the 14th, lifting the Yankees to a 4-3 victory over the Angels on Monday evening.
