VIDEO: Didi Gregorius, Gary Sanchez and Brett Gardner Extend Yankees' Lead Over Rangers With Homers
By Scott Rogust
After having their scoring streak snapped on Monday, the New York Yankees entered Tuesday night with revenge on their mind against the Texas Rangers. In the bottom of the sixth inning, the Yankees found themselves with two men on base and a 2-0 lead, and Didi Gregorius brought them all home with a three-run blast to the right field bleachers. The cushy five-run lead wasn't enough for Gary Sanchez though. He hit a solo homer to right field in the very next at-bat for his second of the night.

Even Brett Gardner joined in on the fun. With a returning Edwin Encarnacion on base, Gardner unleashed a shot to right field, extending New York's lead to 8-0.
If Brett Gardner pimps a home run off you, you should immediately retire LMAO

If the Yankees proved anything on Tuesday, it's that they don't appreciate being shut out, especially after they hadn't been in 220 games.
