New York Yankees first baseman Greg Bird broke a tie in the 10th inning, smoking a three-run home run as the Yankees overcame the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday.
Bird's homer -- a line-drive rocket to right -- gave New York a 6-3 cushion, and the Yankees went on to win by that score.
Filling in for an injured Mark Teixeira, Bird has been superb for the Bronx Bombers. The rookie owns a .380 wOBA with 10 homers in 137 plate appearances. We project him to slow his pace as we peg him for a .522 OPS and 0 home runs the rest of the way.
