VIDEO: Gio Urshela Rocks Home Run to Deepest Part of Fenway Park to Give Yankees Early Lead
By Adam Weinrib
A...a lead? For the Yankees? After the first two games at Fenway this weekend? You'd better believe it. Gio Urshela, as he's done so often this year, reversed the momentum in his team's direction just a bit on Saturday, stroking a monstrous shot well past the triangle in right-center for his 11th home run of the season.
Urshela's clutch gene and brilliant fielding have been well-documented this season during his breakout performance, and the Yanks better hope he's ready to keep the foot on the gas. After DJ LeMahieu's groin irritation, Urshela may be back to an everyday player for a bit.
