Brett Gardner is making it a habit of getting walkoff hits for the Yankees. Against the Kansas City Royals, Gardner hit a single in the bottom of the 13th inning to score Robinson Cano and secure the win for the Yankees.
While Gardner may have a knack for getting timely hits, he isn’t having a great rookie season for the Yankees. The 24-year-old outfielder is hitting .176 with eight RBIs in 63 at bats. Despite the ugly stats, New York could definitely use a player who produces when the pressure is on.
Even with the win, the Yankees are 9.5 games behind the AL West leading Tampa Bay Rays and 6 games behind the Boston Red Sox.
Here is a video of the Brett Gardner hit.
