The Yankees score three in the bottom of the ninth to defeat the Phillies 5-4. Damon walked, Alex Rodriguez hit a one-out home run, Cano singled and stole second and Melky Cabrera delivered a single to win the game. Alex and Melky are very close, and A-Rod came over and gave Cabrera a hug and a chest bump to celebrate.
Alex now has seven home runs in 15 games since returning to the Yankees. If you look at his pace as over a 134 game season (he missed the first 28 games), he’s on a pace for 63 homers this year, which would set a new AL record. Imagine if he started the season healthy.
I’m sure the 314 outfield walls have nothing to do with this incredible display of power.

/tongue in cheek
Yeah, because A-Rod does hit a lot of homers that just barely clear the wall. /sarcasm
and he doesn’t use steroids. /sarcasm
and since it’s late in the playoff push it’s obvious he’s going to get his clutch hits. /sarcasm
