Talking Points: Betts continues big series

Share

STAR OF THE GAME: Mookie Betts

Betts continued his remarkable series here with two homers -- a solo shot in the seventh and a two-run belt in the 11th -- giving him eight extra-base hits in his last nine hits.

HONORABLE MENTION: Travis Shaw

Shaw accounted for the first three runs of the night with a first-inning homer, then kicked off the game-winning rally with a leadoff single in the top of the 11th, scoring the go-ahead run.

GOAT OF THE GAME: Andrew Bailey

The former Red Sox reliever allowed three runs in the top of the 11th, turning a tie game in a tough, extra-inning loss for the Yankees.

TURNING POINT: Wade Miley's wildness -- three walks and a wild pitch allowed the Yankees back into the game in the three-run fifth inning.

BY THE NUMBERS: New York shortstop Didi Gregorius was 0-for-5 and stranded 10 baserunners in the game.
