Hicks came up with a clutch pinch-hit home run on Friday night in the top of the eighth, one that was crucial to the Yankees' 8-4 win in extra innings.
It's just the latest moment in a solid stretch of baseball for the veteran centerfielder. Hicks is slugging .490 since the start of June with 7 home runs and 19 runs batted in as the Yankees continue to play dominant baseball.
