VIDEO: Gleyber Torres Swings Yankees Ahead With 1st Career Playoff Home Run
By Michael Luciano
It was only a matter of time before 22-year-old New York Yankees phenom Gleyber Torres connected for his first postseason home run, and Gleyber finally managed to crank one into the bleachers. Torres took a hanging breaking ball from Minnesota Twins starter Jake Odorizzi into the stands at Target Field, giving the Yankees a quick 1-0 lead in Game 3 of the ALDS at Target Field.

Odorizzi and the Twins needed to buck up if they want to stay in the postseason, and this certainly is not the start they were hoping for. For now, it's a Gleyber Day road show for the Bronx Bombers.
