Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg is known for having some unique ground rules, and one of those came into play on Monday.
With two outs in the ninth inning, Tim Beckham hit a fly ball to left field that Brett Gardner camped under. But Gardner never got a chance to make the catch – the ball bounced off of a catwalk and into the waiting glove of Didi Gregorius for the game’s final out, finishing off the 11-5 win.
THAAAAAAAAAA YANKEES WIN! New York is now an AL-best 21-12, and four games up on the second place Rays in the AL East.
