NEW YORK -- When the New York Yankees acquired hulking outfielder Giancarlo Stanton, Didi Gregorius sent a tweet to new manager Aaron Boone asking if he was still the cleanup hitter.
Based on the first games of the 2018 season, Gregorius isn't leaving the cleanup spot anytime soon.
After setting a team record for a shortstop with eight RBI on Tuesday, Gregorius attempts to produce another big game Wednesday when the Yankees conclude their two-game series with the Tampa Bay Rays.
In Tuesday's 11-4 win, Gregorius drove in eight runs and hit a pair of three-run homers.
