Joey Gallo Homers Twice In Saturday's Win
3 years agoNew York Yankees outfielder Joey Gallo went 2-for-4 with a pair of homers and three RBI in Saturday's win over the White Sox. Gallo hit a 354-foot, 100.5 MPH solo homer to extend the Yankee lead to 2-0 in the first inning. His second blast was a moonshot, traveling a whopping 424 feet at 113.8 MPH, breaking the game open for New York in the 10th. Gallo was slumping through his first 14 games with New York, though nights like this are reminders of his immense power upside at the plate. He's slashing .214/.371/.478 with 28 homers, 61 RBI, and 68 runs scored while ranking among the league's best in exit velocity and barrel rate.
