After an eight -year -old roller coaster in the Bronx, Gleyber Torres arrived for the first time in the Yankee Stadium as a visitor on Tuesday.
Just like Torres, and his former manager Aaron Boone, the fans usually chose to remember the good times, making the Tigers Second Honkman a polite applause that became louder when he tipped his helmet to them for his first battle at the top of the first inning.
He received another ovation after a tribute video for the second inning, where he stepped out of the Dugout and greeted the crowd again.
‘He certainly deserves that [a good reception]”Boone said before Torres 1-out-3 struck with a two-hree and two walks in the 12-2 victory of the Tigers.
This season Torres was an all-star for the first time this season since he was one of the first two years at the Yankees.
In between there was a mixed bag – some solid pieces but also a good part of the struggles, including mental errors on the bases and in the field.
The Yankees were not much interested in bringing Torres back when he became a free agent in the last season, which led him to sign a cushion contract with the Tigers for a year and $ 15 million.
He went on Tuesday in .259 with a .758 Ops in 128 games this season.
‘I don’t have bad feelings with the [Yankees] Organization, “Torres said.” I will always be grateful for the chance to first exchange the Cubs for me and give myself the opportunity to play in the big competitions. … to wear the chalk stripes was really an honor for me. “
Torres, who described Boone as a ‘staple’ in the Tigers -Line -Up, said he learned some things with his new organization that he ‘did not do in my years with the Yankees’. That includes being more aggressive on the bases.
‘You know [third base coach Joey] Cora, how they run the bases, “Torres said.” Such situations, always aggressive on the bases. We really create more opportunities to score runs. In the first inning or the last inning we never change our approach to run aggressively on the bases. That is a large part that I have learned and tried to be on the same page. “
In his 30th start of the season, Warren made the 21 starts in which he allowed two points or less earned while supplying six strong innings of two-run ball.
“I think our task is as a starter to take the ball every five days and go as deep as possible as you can in games,” Warren said. “I am enthusiastic about that. Just keep it rolling.”
Boone said he was planning to have Aaron judge DH on Wednesday after playing right field on Tuesday, rotating with Giancarlo Stanton while he works back from a judge elbow flexor voltage.
Anthony Rizzo, who has not played a game since he started all Five World Series games on first base for the Yankees last October, was in the crowd and received an ovation when he was shown on the video board. He responded by puffing his beer.
The Fairfield National Little League team, which finished third in the Little League World Series last month, was honored before Tuesday’s game and took the field with the Yankees.
