Gio Urshela Belts Pinch-Hit Homer
4 years agoNew York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela didn't start in Friday's victory over the Orioles, but made an impact off the bench with his bat. Urshela entered as a pinch hitter for Tyler Wade in the seventh inning and put together a great at-bat, working a 2-2 count and fouling off four pitches before depositing the ninth pitch of the at-bat into the right-field seats for a three-run homer that gave New York the lead. Urshela told reporters postgame that he felt way better with his knee and that he expects to be in the lineup for Saturday's contest. That's good news for fantasy managers, as he is having a fine season, batting .298 with five homers and 19 RBI.
