CLEVELAND — Gleyber Torres is taking his sudden table-setting prowess to the World Series.
Torres led off the first and sixth innings with singles Saturday as he continued to be the ideal leadoff hitter that the Yankees didn’t know they had until the middle of his seventh MLB season.
After he was thrown out at home plate for the first out of the game, Torres jogged the final 85 or so feet to home plate when Giancarlo Stanton hit the game-tying two-out home run in the sixth as the Yankees flipped the script in what became a pennant-clinching 5-2 extra-innings victory in Game 5 of the ALCS.
