NEW YORK -- Neil Walker signed in the middle of spring training and began the season as the starting second baseman for the New York Yankees.
Then two weeks ago, prized prospect Gleyber Torres was called up to play second base every day. The move shifted Walker to a platoon at first base but hardly fazed the veteran.
On Saturday, he delivered the game-winning single in the 11th inning. On Sunday, Walker and the Yankees attempt to get another series victory when they host the Oakland Athletics in the rubber match of a three-game set at Yankee Stadium.
