Early HRs for Encarnicion, Cabrera, both (31).

Kinda cool to see Sale, JV and Weaver both Starting, kinda head-to-head...

Pedroia with a 3 run HR to take the lead 4-3

Granderson also has hit his 31st...

and HR Frazier (16), who's had a heckuva week. Maybe making a ROY statement?

Jeter HR (10) is his 250th career.

Harper HR (11) :mrgreen:

Funny how Pedroia & Jeter hit their 10th HRs [this season] in the same game

Have to ask though....can the Yankees win a game if they don't hit a home run?

Ugh....rough night even if the boys in blue won.

Chris Getz tried to bunt and fouled the ball off his thumb. It's broken and he's out for the season. While his stat line might not look impressive what is, is his ability to bunt for base hits, steal, and most importantly his RISP batting is up there.

On the bright side Chris Sale is now 2-2 against the Royals in 4 games, has given up 10 runs on 34 hits, and they have a .304 BA against him. Seems like them and Detroit have his number.
