TORONTO — It will take more than one swing to declare Gleyber Torres as “back,” but he took a step in the right direction Friday night.
After returning to the lineup following a two-day benching to get his mind and swing right, Torres crushed a two-run homer and recorded his first two-hit game in over a month to help the Yankees thrash the Blue Jays 16-5 at Rogers Centre.
Torres, who spent the last two days trying to find his swing, was retired in his first two at-bats Friday, sinking him further into a 2-for-31 slump. But he rebounded by drilling hits in his next two at-bats for his first multi-hit effort since May 26. He also added a sacrifice fly in the ninth to give him three RBIs on the night.
