Jake Burger Walks It Off Against Yankees
1 year agoMiami Marlins third baseman Jake Burger was the hero on Sunday in the team's 8-7 walk-off win against the visiting New York Yankees. Burger went 3-for-5 on the day with two RBI and two strikeouts, and he provided a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth inning to complete a five-run comeback over New York. The Marlins acquired Burger from the Chicago White Sox at the trade deadline earlier this month to give them some more offensive firepower, and he's done just that. The 27-year-old slugger has gone 13-for-41 (.317) with a homer, four doubles, six RBI and four runs score in 11 games so far for the Fish. Overall, Burger is hitting just .227 (76-for-335) on the year but with 26 long balls, 58 RBI and 48 runs in 99 total games played.
