Yankees complete wild comeback with trio of late-inning homers
The Texas Rangers and New York Yankees have been two teams headed in opposite directions this month. Trailing by five runs in the eighth inning, New York rallied for its most unlikely and exhilarating win of the season by scoring seven unanswered runs. After New York trimmed the lead to three on a Brett Gardner single, pinch-hitter Alex Rodriguez came to the plate with a chance to tie the game against Rangers closer Sam Dyson. Rodriguez, who was officially benched by manager Joe Girardi, couldn’t come through, but that was OK.
