Greg Bird has been heating up at the plate over the last few weeks after hitting .184 with just six RBIs for the entire month of June, and he was due for a big hit. It came in the eighth inning of the nightcap of Saturday’s doubleheader.
After New York dropped Game 1 to Kansas City, 10-5, Bird delivered a game-tying blast to lead off the bottom of the eighth, and Aaron Hicks sent the go-ahead runner across the plate with a sacrifice fly, lifting the Yankees to a 5-4 victory over the Royals.
