The Yankees get a big night out of Mike Tauchman, unlikely hero

Mike Tauchman was so much redesigned in the Yankees roster that by coming back in the dugout after firing three balls to the second bridge to reverse an 8-0 win against the Red Sox, no one even realized it was the first house. current of his career.

"He sat next to me and told me it was his first home run," Clint Frazier said.

Tauchman is largely anonymous since arriving in Colorado at the end of spring training, as the Yankees needed a fourth player, Aaron Hicks being injured in the back and Jacoby Ellsbury not having the ambition to take the fronts.

He stayed partly because Giancarlo Stanton was also injured in the biceps and the Yankees continue to say they love his defense.

But on Tuesday, Tauchman delivered a pair of hit hits.

The first took place in the fourth inning with a 3-0 lead of the Yankees. Austin Romine chose Tauchman, a left-handed swinger confronted by a tough left-hander, Chris Sale.

Tauchman had a double, which was first dubbed by Mitch Moreland, a diver, then passed in the right turn, which allowed Romine to come back from first base to qualify 4-0.

Then, against right-hander Erasmo Ramirez in sixth place, with runners in the second, third and third assists, Tauchman shot a shot in the second bridge on the right for a three-point run giving the Yankees a 7-0 lead.

When asked if he knew he was going out when he hit him, Tauchman stopped and simply replied, "Yes."

Beyond that, however, he did not remember much about his journey around the bases.

"I would like to be able to tell you," says Tauchman. "My mind was empty. I just tried to appreciate the moment and remember the feeling. ''

Tauchman was only 2 years out of 16 and had not raced since his acquisition in exchange for minor league pitcher Phillip Diehl.

But his four hits this season are extra-basic.

Because the Yankees have no choice but to rely on Tauchman for the foreseeable future, manager Aaron Boone thinks Tuesday night will be a sign of improvement from his entire team – and Tauchman.

"I hope that it will be able to install a little bit more as it goes along and that it will have more opportunities," Boone said of Tauchman, who said played the last three games. "[Tuesday] was not the easiest draw as a southpaw against Sale and he had some very competitive strikes. … He is a talented player. We know that … and [Tuesday] night, we saw a glimpse of his power on the plate. "
