One New York Yankees fan made much more excitement than the team during on Sunday’s game against the Boston Red Sox.In a game of 3-0 defeat at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, N.Y., the Yankees’ bats fell silent against their division rivals.
The game remained a pitchers duel through six innings, with both the Yankees Luis Gil and the Red Sox’s Kutter Crawford keeping the score at zero entering the 7th inning.The tie was broken by Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers’ solo home run with one out in the top of the 7th. The ball was caught by the Yankees fan previously mentioned , who displayed a very impressive arm by launching the ball just shy of the infield on it’s very first bounce.
The Yankees fan nearly sent Devers’ 373-foot home run ball rolling all the way back to their home plate.The Pinstripes went three up, three down in six of the game’s nine innings. They grounded into two double plays and never had more than four batters come to the plate in a single inning.
