VIDEO: Brett Gardner Keeps the Offense Going in London With a 2-Run Blast in the 3rd Inning
By Parker White
The ball is FLYING out of this stadium in London. Neither team scored in the second inning after an offensive onslaught by both squads in the first, but that didn't mean we weren't going to see more pop. In the top of the third inning with two outs, veteran New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner joined the party and belted a two-run shot to retake the lead.

You hit a homer, you hit a homer, and you hit a homer!
Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora had to hope Steven Wright and his knuckleball would give the Yankee lineup a different look, but if you throw one floating down the middle, you are going to pay.
This ball is flying in London, a monster shot by Brett Gardner and now it's 8-6 #Yankees.

I hope these fans from the UK didn't have any big plans for the rest of the day. If you want to see this entire game, clear your schedules now. I don't think is all the runs we're going to see today.
