Yastrzemski lasted until Sunday before being se Antworten

SARASOTA Kyle Freeland Jersey , Fla. (AP) — Mike Yastrzemski finally made it to spring training with the Orioles after bouncing around the Baltimore organization since 2013.Though it was a brief stint, the 28-year-old outfielder known primarily for his last name departed on a high note.After being invited to the big league camp, nt back to the minors. But he was brought back up this week, and made the most of the moment.The grandson of Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski was a late addition to the Orioles’ roster for their game Wednesday against the Rays at Port Charlotte, Florida, and he hit a two-out, ninth-inning home run — his first hit of the spring — off Tampa Bay’s Ryne Stanek.“That was a beautiful swing right there,” Baltimore manager Brandon Hyde said.But Yastrzemski was a long shot at best to make the team and earn his first chance to play in the majors.“He didn’t get the full look we’d like because we have so many outfielders. He played great defense when he went into the game,” Hyde said. “He always took great at-bats, and he gets a pitch to hit off a big league, late-inning guy and hits one over the fence. It’s got to feel good for him.”Especially considering the journey he has been on.Yastrzemski rose quickly in the Orioles’ organization. Three years after he was drafted, he was playing for Triple-A Norfolk, but his career stalled there. For the past three seasons, Yastrzemski has split time between Norfolk and Double-A Bowie.Prior to this spring, Yastrzemski was occasionally added to Baltimore’s roster for Grapefruit League games as an extra player, but this year he got the coveted invite and had nine at-bats before being reassigned to minor league camp.Last season, when Baltimore used a franchise-record 56 players in its record-setting 115 loss season, Yastrzemski wasn’t called up. The sting was eased by the invitation to spring training.“It’s kind of like a little piece of a reward,” Yastrzemski said.“Everybody puts in so much hard work and time to be able to be here. To learn from these guys, it’s a great experience.”Yastrzemski is not the only relative of a noted player to play for the Orioles this spring. First basemen Preston Palmeiro http://www.rockiesfanproshop.com/authentic-chad-bettis-jersey , son of Rafael Palmeiro and Ryan Ripken, son of Cal Ripken Jr. have made cameo appearances in games over the last several days.Like his famous grandfather, Mike Yastrzemski hits left-handed, but doesn’t have the same power. In six minor league seasons, Yastrzemski has a .260 average, but has never hit more than 15 home runs or had more than 75 RBIs.Still, Yastrzemski keeps plugging away.“It’s all a learning experience,” Yastrzemski said. “Everybody’s got their own path to get where they want to go, whatever path that is for me, I’m fine with it. As long as you see some light at the end of the tunnel and you put everything into it, it’s rewarding in that sense.”NOTES: 1B Chris Davis is out for the third straight day with a strained left hip flexor. . C Austin Wynns is out with a sore left oblique. . LHP Richard Bleier, who had surgery last June, will make his season debut on Saturday. BOSTON (AP) — On the final day of their record-setting season, the AL East champion Boston Red Sox picked up a few more titles.Mookie Betts had another hit to coast to the big league batting championship and J.D. Martinez won the RBI crown on Sunday as the Red Sox headed into the playoffs with their franchise-record 108th win, a 10-2 victory over the second-place New York Yankees.“That’s a lot of wins,” said Martinez, who hit his 43rd homer, the most ever for a player in his first year with the Red Sox. “It’s been exciting, and now we’re focused on the playoffs.”Five days before they have a chance to meet in the postseason for the first time since Boston’s epic comeback in its 2004 World Series championship run, the teams phoned in a meaningless Game 162. In all Ryan McMahon Jersey , the usually bitter rivals ran out 26 position players and 15 pitchers, with Red Sox manager Alex Cora pulling starter Rick Porcello from a no-hitter after two innings and sending out a sub for Betts so he could get a curtain call.“It really doesn’t matter,” said Cora, who before the game compared it to the final day of spring training. “Now we start. We’re ready to go, whoever we play on Friday.”New York has to go through Oakland first, in Wednesday night’s AL wild-card game. The winner will be in Boston for Game 1 of the AL Division Series, starting Friday.“Excited to go chase it down,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “It’s an opportunity none of us should take lightly — the opportunity to get in the postseason.”Xander Bogaerts also homered for Boston, and Luke Voit hit one for the Yankees to give them a major league-record 267 home runs for the year. Betts finished with a major league-best .346 average, and Martinez’s three-run homer gave him an AL-best 130 RBIs.Porcello left with a 7-0 lead and afterward was named to start Game 3 of the ALDS, following Chris Sale and David Price to the mound. The Game 4 starter could be Nathan Eovaldi, depending on what happens in the first three games.Cora said his team would have Monday off, and he planned to watch the NL tiebreakers and the wild-card games.“Should be a fun week in baseball,” he said. “Get that playoff feeling watching those guys go at it.”Eduardo Rodriguez (13-5) was credited with the win by the official scorer as the most effective reliever under MLB Rule 9.17(b). Rodriguez was the fourth of eight Boston pitchers, going one inning and striking out two.MOOKIE JARBetts had already taken the field at the beginning of the third inning when Cora sent Tzu-Wei Lin out to replace him, allowing the AL MVP favorite to get a cheer on his way back to the dugout. A brief “M-V-P!” chant broke out.“If he’s not your MVP, I don’t know who is,” said Martinez, who will also be in the running, along with Mike Trout B.J. Upton Jersey , Jose Ramirez and Alex Bregman. “He’s as good as advertised.”Betts led the majors in slugging percentage, runs and WAR. He is the first player in baseball history to lead the majors in batting average and also top 30 steals and 30 homers. He is the first AL player to lead the majors in both batting average and extra-base hits since Mickey Mantle in 1956.FIRST-INNING FUMBLESFour of the first five Red Sox batters reached base in the first against Yankees starter Luis Cessa, plus an error by Aaron Judge that allowed Betts to score from first on Brock Holt’s single. With one out and runners on second and third, Eduardo Nunez hit one to the right side, beyond the pitcher’s reach.Voit fielded it and flipped it to Cessa, who arrived at first at the same time as the runner, tagging him but dropping the ball. Both Cessa and Nunez need medical attention; Nunez stayed in the game but Cessa was relieved by David Robertson.Cessa (1-4) got just one out, allowing four runs — three earned — on five hits. Boston added three more in the second inning.TRAINER’S ROOMYankees: DH Giancarlo Stanton was a late scratch from the lineup, replaced by Miguel Andujar. The Yankees said it was not injury-related and only to give Stanton some rest. … LHP Stephen Tarpley got five out, striking out four. “I’d say he’s in the conversation (for the postseason), yes,” Boone said. “We haven’t settled on that or anything.”Red Sox: Nunez remained in the game after the brush with Cessa but remained in the game until he was pinch run for after a sixth-inning walk.FINAL NUMBERSYankees: New York finished 100-62, its 20th 100-win season and a nine-game improvement over last year. The Yankees had the third-best record in baseball, behind Boston and Houston. … They join the Pirates as the only teams to play twice in the wild-card game. … Have reached the playoffs in 20 of the past 24 seasons. … The 1997 Seattle Mariners hit 264 homers. The Yankees topped them on Saturday…. Andujar hit his 47th double, tied for second-most for a rookie in major league history.Red Sox: In winning their third straight AL East title and setting a franchise record for wins, the Red Sox improved by 15 victories over their 2017 record. … Twelve teams in baseball history have won as many as 108 games. … Boston snapped a three-game losing streak but completed the season without losing four in a row. It was the only team in baseball to go all season without losing four straight. It also accomplished that in 1903 and 2013, winning the World Series in both years. … The last Red Sox player to win the AL batting title was Bill Mueller, with a .326 average in 2003. Wade Boggs was the last Boston player to lead the majors in average, hitting .366 in 1988.
