]]> 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.

]]> Boston Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon was apparently crying after giving up a game-winning hit in the tenth inning against the New York Yankees. Papelbon, who entered the game tied at four, allowed Brett Gardner to drive in the winning run.

With two outs and Robinson Cano on second base, Gardner hit a single to right field. Gardner, a rookie, was only 1-for-16 entering the game.

With the loss, the Red Sox fell four games behind the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL East. With the win, the Yankees now trail the Rays by nine games.
