Gleyber Torres’s first major league home run, a three-run blast on Friday night, was overshadowed by a wild ending in the Yankees’ win. Two days later, he made sure nothing would minimize his second homer.
Torres, the Yankees’ much-acclaimed 21-year-old shortstop, came up with two men on and the score tied in the bottom of the ninth on Sunday, and then sent a slider from Dan Otero over the center field wall. The walk-off home run propelled the streaking Yankees to a 7-4 victory over the Cleveland Indians, their 15th win in the last 16 games.
