Neil Walker has gamely handled a multitude of requests from the Yankees this season, including time at three infield positions and unexpected pennant-race patrols in the outfield. His most enjoyable assignment may have come in the ninth inning on Tuesday, when the veteran came off the bench to fill the role of walk-off hero.
After Miguel Andujar and Aaron Hicks turned around a flat opening to the evening with a pair of two-run homers, Walker slugged the only pitch he saw from Dylan Covey over the wall in right field, rounding the bases to celebrate a 5-4 victory over the White Sox at Yankee Stadium.
